The question must again be asked ..What are the people who
voted for Obama going to do about this???? Are you going to make the Democrats
pay??? Right now, Tea Party conservatives are attempting to hold out in Congress
..are you Democrats going to call your Democrat House and Senator and tell them
to join them in attempting to roll back Obamacare???

OBAMACARE COLLAPSE 'HAS DEEPLY EMBARRASSED' WHITE HOUSE
A
New York Times investigative article
based on two dozen interviews with industry insiders and confidential Obama
Administration documents reveals that the catastrophic $500 million Obamacare rollout "has deeply embarrassed the White House"
and has the technology companies involved "publicly distancing themselves" from
the Obamacare fiasco.
"These
are not glitches. The extent of the problems is pretty enormous," an insurance
executive who participated in Obamacare conference
calls told
the Times. "At the end of our calls, people say, 'It's awful, just
awful.'"
The
Times
says those closest to the three-and-a-half year-long building of Obamacare, like embattled Health and Human Services
Secretary Kathleen Sebelius, ignored or quashed the
myriad warning bells sounding all around them. On Tuesday, the Republican
National Committee released a #FireSebelius web ad
calling for Sebelius's
ousting.
"We
foresee a train wreck," one insurance executive working on Obamacare IT said in February. "We don't have the IT
specifications. The level of angst in health plans is growing by leaps and
bounds. The political people in the administration do not understand how far
behind they are."
The
comments mirror those made in April by Sen. Max Baucus (D-MT) who helped craft
Obamacare. At the time, Baucus said
Obamacare was "a huge train wreck coming down."
Now,
the companies that bagged millions to build the Obamacare digital architecture are scurrying to avoid public
ridicule and scrutiny. "Worried about their reputations, contractors are now
publicly distancing themselves from the troubled parts of the federally run
project," reports the Times.
Development
Seed President Eric Gundersen told the Times
his company built the busted HealthCare.org website but "had nothing to do
with what happened after a user hit the 'Apply Now'
button."
Oracle,
which was subcontracted to handle identity management software used in the Obamacare registration process, claims its services are
running swimmingly. "Our software is running properly," said Oracle
communications vice president Deborah Hellinger.
One
of Obamacare's biggest winners of taxpayer dollars has
been CGI Group. Washington Examiner reporter Richard Pollock says
that the U.S. subsidiary of Canadian company CGI (which stands for "Conseillers en Gestion et Informatique") Group, CGI Federal, received a no-bid
sweetheart contract worth $93 million. Since 2009, CGI has scored $678 million
in taxpayer money for 185 separate task orders.
Even
progressive Democrats are now blasting Obamacare's
failures.
Former
Obama White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs says President Barack Obama
should fire
those responsible for the "excruciatingly embarrassing" Obamacare rollout.
Progressive
Washington Post columnist Ezra Klein, a strong Obamacare supporter, wrote
on Monday that "So far, the Affordable Care Act's launch has been a failure. Not
'troubled.' Not 'glitchy.' A
failure."
Obamacare
will cost taxpayers $2.6
trillion over the next ten years
