Sebelius: Health Care Launch 'Terribly Flawed'
NBC News ^ | 4/13/14

Posted on 04/13/2014 1:38:04 PM PDT by Libloather

Outgoing Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius says the administration's own predictions that the new health care law's online sign-up system would be ready by Oct. 1 were "just flat out wrong."

Sebelius told NBC's "Meet the Press" in an interview airing Sunday the health care website's launch was "terribly flawed and terribly difficult."

She says that eight-week period was her low point of her tenure. Sebelius last week announced her resignation. She says she wanted to give President Barack Obama enough time to bring in a new health chief.

Sebelius' resignation comes just a week after sign-ups for insurance coverage ended, enrolling 7.1 million people and exceeding initial expectations.

A magic milestone - and she quits? That must give her a bit of extra time for the orange jumpsuit fitting.

"I thought it was fair to either commit till January of 2017 or leave with enough time that he would get a strong, competent leader," Sebelius said.

Why start now? Incompetence has served his purpose very well so far.

Seems that Sebelios and Lerner have been dubbed as the feminine foils for 0’s failed projects. Is he trying to punished his white mother or grandmother by placing the blame of his failure on white women. Racist misogynist that he is!

Health Care Launch 'Terribly Flawed'

It's in our best interests when the unconstitutionally large government's unconstitutional program implementation is "terribly flawed".

So why did you blatantly and repeatedly lie to the American people that it would be ready on October 1?

Why did you attack those that said it would not be ready, when you knew it wasn’t going to be ready?

Just turn the screws on this bitch.

Her implementation occurred exactly as the obama admin wanted. They obviously did not want it to go smoothly. So it happened exactly as he and his handlers wanted it to.

Don't fall in the trap and think it was bad luck for Sebelius.. it was exactly as Obama and his handlers planned. He/they wanted the LIV's to call for total government control of the whole thing. They want the majority of the public under TOTAL government control as far as health care goes.

1/6 of our economy in their hands meaning near total control of the whole economy. A dems/liberal dream.

“Sebelius: Health Care Launch ‘Terribly Flawed’”

In hindsight, that could have been predicted about March of 2014.

In English history, back about the 11th Century or so, there was a ruler known as King Aethelred II The Unready. He earned that title because he was prone to undertake huge projects without the means to carry out his ambitions, and managed to incur a great deal of enmity upon himself. In 991 and again in 994, Aethelred tried to buy off the Danish raiders by paying Danegeld. In 1002 he ordered the massacre of the Danish settlers, provoking an invasion by Sweyn I of Denmark. In 1013 King Sweyn Forkbeard of Denmark landed in England and was proclaimed king. Aethelred II the Unready fled to Normandy but was recalled in 1014 on the death of Sweyn. War with Sweyn’s son, Canute, occupied the rest of Aethelred’s reign. Aethelred died in 1016, in London, while Canute was standing outside the gates.

Canute eventually married Aethelred’s widow, Emma of Normandy.

Sebelius’s management was terribly flawed. There are probably 100,000 people who could have done a better job.
