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.

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.

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.
