I gotta wonder.. do you think that was a stock photo or did she pose for it knowing it’d be used on the fedgov site?

either way, I’ll be we don’t see her in public for a while.

She’s become the face of failure.

Do you think the American people will be excited about a “new improved 0bamaCare plan” after this debacle?

All the more reason to take the seneate in 2014, and most importantly remove McShame’s cadre of moderates.

Seems like the contract would have provided “shovel ready jobs” to the US IT sector - but he doesn’t want people to have jobs so it had to be outsourced where it became a shovel-ready failure.

It's like I posted earlier tonight.

That's practically saying that Republicans forced Democrats to become intractable, for fear that they would open themselves up to criticism or appear weak to their own base if they gave in on a point or two in the name of "compromise."

In other words, just the existence of Republicans forces Democrats to do the things they do, which is why it's always the Republicans' fault.

Several congressional hearings were held to brief and updtate congress on the readiness of Obamacare. Sebelius herself attended many along with her staff. Congress was more preoccupied with bloviating of themselves than to ask for proof or ask for beta testing results of any system, in fear they would prove their own ignorance.

Sebelius gave assurances, but nobody of either party asked for a demonstration, fishbone chart, or beta testing run analysis.

We elected congress to trust but VERIFY! I do not blame Sebelius. She and Obama just abused congressional ignorance. They were more interested in assurances that congress and staff would be exempt from the processes and personal costs.

Yes Ernest. It is beyond "Unbelieveable". It is criminal.
As the Forbe's article indicates, as well as other sources over
the past few weeks, the lack of System Integrity to produce well
organized and functional web pages, can only be seen as a deliberate
database application, that is deliberatly playing games with the
public.

In short, software installed to make it look like the system is
simply overloaded, whatever.

All indications lead to the simple fact that the system is set up to provide
smoke screen responses to simply turn people off.

Now how much money thus far where removed from the Medicare, and other sources
to finance this fiasco yet remains to be seen.

They are not “moderates” we must call them what they are. Democrats posing as republicans to win elections.

I believe I read where the company they hired had been fired from their last job because of incompetence. So that would be one issue. I lived in Kansas and have friends who worked in Topeka when Sillybus was the Governor and they all said she was as dumb as a box of rocks. Going from being the Governor of Kansas to writing regs to cover a huge program like this is way beyond her capability. All of it was destined to fail.

Seems to me like Obama could have just said what the plans had to cover, that everyone had to be insured and then let the insurance carriers handle the enrollment. Once people found out what their premium was then they could apply for financial aid from the appropriate agency.

QbamaCare is a conspiracy to push through a frame work to tie Government power centers together in such a way they could be used to institute a coercive force to enable an authoritarian, dictatorial government under the guise of health care.

To run a conspiracy, you need a small, tight knit group of dedicated co conspirators who can keep silent and maintain secrecy to carry out the conspiracy.

ObamaCare is showing all the signs of being such a conspiracy

THAT my Friend WAS the point! This is a FUBAR so we have to fix it with single payer

I think it's easy to understand that this as intended as a stepping stone to single payer, but I can't see the rollout fiasco as part of that plan.

It seems to me that the segue would require the exchanges to get up and running, but be seen to be unsatisfactory for reasons of expense and coverage, etc.

To have the thing not even get off the ground makes it hard to sell the idea that well, we couldn't do that, but we can easily absorb the entire industry. So, I say it's a genuine fiasco. Of course, when chaos is afoot, who knows where it will lead.
