The government contract for the company that built the glitch-prone website for Obamacare has ballooned to three times its original cost, and some Republicans are demanding the resignation of the cabinet secretary who oversees it.

The government says that the cost grew as more states lined up for Obamacare, President Barack Obama’s signature health care law.

“Health care reform is more than a website,” Jay Carney, the White House press secretary, told reporters Thursday. “Across the country, people are getting health insurance.”

If Sebelius resigns, does that mean she'll have to sign up for Husseincare?

Across the country, people are getting health insurance.”

No doubt there is zero deductible for Silver Hair Color.

Bigger fish to fry in the Senate and House one by one, and on both sides of the aisle, when it comes to obamacare. Sebilius has a job because they gave it to her. Time and resources need to be focused like a laser on those who made this moll a player in the first place.

Why attack Sibelius? She isn’t the root of the problem.

DEFINE THE ROOT OF THE PROBLEM!

A mammoth Federal Bureaucracy is NOT how individual Americans can best obtain health insurance. Government involvement ALWAYS drives UP the costs or drives DOWN the quality of the service.

Has anybody thought of suing the company that devised this monstrosity of a software for every penny PLUS damages? I bet $643M would help a bunch of Veterans. I'm just asking? Why not use the Marxist's tactics on them and destroy the company, the Secretary, and everyone at HHS who was involved in it's conception, design, implementation and propaganda in how well it is working. Don't p!as on my leg and then try to convince me it's raining.
