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.

I didn’t think anything could embarrass them, they of no moral fiber other than Steamroller Tyranny.
Obama is one huge embarrassment
More popcorn.
Don’t kid yourself. They are NOT embarrassed. They simply recalculate.
I pray that it’s true. This jerk needs to be humbled for once, if only brief.
I know someone who is an executive with one of the largest insurance providers in the country. He said that Obama has not given the insurers a working software application to be able to allow them to sell to individuals. In three years, the administration has not even figured out how to do that. The insurers have no guidance from the feds.
The Strategy was first elucidated in the May 2, 1966 issue of The Nation magazine by a pair of radical socialist Columbia University professors, Richard Andrew Cloward and Frances Fox Piven. David Horowitz summarizes it as:
The strategy of forcing political change through orchestrated crisis. The "Cloward-Piven Strategy" seeks to hasten the fall of capitalism by overloading the government bureaucracy with a flood of impossible demands, thus pushing society into crisis and economic collapse."
Think about how deadly the insurance will be.
Yeah, it’s hard to tweak the performance and patch the functionality of a website that is just very badly designed and implemented. When buildings go up with similar pathology they are usually razed.

It would be easier to shame a murder of crows and photograph their crimson blushing than to embarrass this bunch in the White Hut.
More MSM horses***.
Awwww - I feel so bad.
Why should they be embarrassed? What are you gonna do about it? The same we’ve done about Benghazi. What a country, Comrade!
Note to NYT: It is impossible to embarrass the White House. They ARE an embarrassment on a daily basis and the NYT covers for them!
Hey, next try will be single-payer, what they really wanted in the first place.
I think you hit on the exact cause of the problem. Affirmative action software from an affirmative action administration.
They received a steady flow of warnings in recent months that the exchanges were greatly flawed, but proceeded to launch them anyway so ‘embarrassed,’ by lack of self control? Impulsive rash decision making ? doesn’t even begin to make sense in this context.
The NYT can say this and the repubs still want to fold.
So the times calls socialism “embarrassing”, how quaint.
The New York Slimes? Really?
They have no ability whatsoever to ever be "deeply embarrassed."
It was meant to collapse so they can campaign for government healthcare claiming the “marketplace failed”
Heard Aetna CEO say got code drops one month before go-live. No integrated testing, no user acceptance testing, no performance testing. My estimate... 2 years before it works. Gov’t run, never is best guess.
If the Democrats manage to push Obamacare through, the Republicans should refuse to move the dates. This system is 6 months away from being ready.
It seems to me that, while the economic collapse would be terrible, as would the breakdown of civility and the horrible violence that would go with it, the up side is that the government too would collapse. Thus, it would lose all of it's completely grotesque and overgrown power.
And from that, sooner or later, pure capitalism and a meritocracy would almost inevitably arise. Basically, we'd start over, as we have many times before in human history.
It is unfortunate that liberals insist on destroying everything, when many of us already know that their fantasies cannot work.

Anyone remember these headlines?
This is what happens when you have government trying to do what the private sector knows best. How to succeed.
F U B O!
Communist apparatchiks screwing the pooch
Shocking!
I guess you're talking about a non state-exchange state?
Here in Washington State insurers are selling both on and off the exchange.
Healthplanfinder enrollment nearly triples in the second week (WA - 25k + 37k not yet paid)
How else to get to single payer? Seems to me neutralizing and debilitating the insurance companies is the game plan, was the game plan from the beginning, and shall be the game until the end is achieved.
I doubt they are any more embarrassed about this than a Frenchman is about sex.

Can a sociopathic narcissist be embarrassed?
Gibbsie used virtually the same words tonite on FNC
“They’re right on schedule.”
If you believe that, you’re not paying attention. Cloward-Piven is blowing up in Buckwheat’s fascist face.
I don’t believe the $500 million number. I think it is MUCH higher.
No President has thrown good money after bad more than Obama. None.
Embarrassed? He and his supporters haven’t been embarrassed yet.
Really poor assumption by those two pencil necks. That is, that a collapse of government will cause a collapse of the economy. Not going to happen that way.
It’s said that when Nero heard that Rome was burning, he rushed back to Rome to direct the fire-control efforts to try to save as much of the city as he could. (It’s a myth he fiddled while Rome burned.)
After the fire, his opponents began to spread rumors that he had actually started the fire, at which point he blamed Christians in Rome for the fire. This began the 3.5 year reign of terror against Christians that cost notable apostles like Peter and Paul their lives.
Here is where Obama and Nero differ: America, like Rome, is burning and Obama is roasting marshmallows on the fire he has clearly started. He has done nothing to put the fire out, but, like Nero, he has blamed others for starting it.
Things didn’t end well for Nero.
...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,"
Yeah, but ...... top men have been on it. Top. Men.
I’m with you - I don’t believe these people have the capacity to be embarrassed...
