Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius has asked the department’s inspector general to investigate the development of HealthCare.gov.
“I am asking the Inspector General [Dan Levinson] to review the acquisition process, overall program management, and contractor performance and payment issues related to the development and management of the HealthCare.gov website,” Sebelius wrote in a blog post Wednesday.
Sebelius said she also asked Marilyn Tavenner, administrator of the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), to create a position for a CMS chief risk officer. The person would work to mitigate risk in CMS programs.
In addition, HHS will update and expand training for employees on best practices for working with contractors on projects.
“The launch of HealthCare.gov was flawed and simply unacceptable,” Sebelius said.
While the federal portal is now “night and day” compared to what it was in October, she said HHS must take “concrete action” to prevent similar problems in the future.
“I believe strongly in the need for accountability, and in the importance of being good stewards of taxpayer dollars,” Sebelius wrote.
These announcements come a week and a half after HHS touted a repaired HealthCare.gov, which officials were working to fix by December.
The site, Sebelius wrote, is now “working faster, it’s responding quicker, and we are able to handle larger volumes of concurrent users.”
“.....“I believe strongly in the need for accountability, and in the importance of being good stewards of taxpayer dollars,” Sebelius wrote.”......
What a crock!
Simply unacceptable.
I agree.
The American people (aka “folks”) want this revoked and their money returned.
Obama is supposed to demand an investigation. Sebelius is supposed to resign, then get promoted.
They’re slipping.
I think Podesta sent her a memo telling her to do this.
Gee!
An investigation?!?!
Already?!?!?
What took her so long?
It will be a faux investigation.
A way to say, “I can’t discuss that, it’s under investigation.”
No question.....no one believes she thought up those itty bitty details all by herself (/snix).
The horse is 100 miles down the road and presto the morons want to close the barn door.
Another lie from the mac daddy kinderground group of sock puppets.
“It will be a faux investigation.”
And the result will be making some low level individual the fall guy.
This one’s too easy:
The mess was NEVER INTENDED to ‘work’.
It WAS, however, intended to get a billion $$$ or so into the hands of their geek buddies.
For Leftoids—it worked like a charm.
These criminals need investigated by an Indepent Prosecuter. If they essentially “investigate” them selves, they will give them selves a raise and the medal of freedom. Criminals all.
Sort of like Kerry running interference for Iran so they can get a nuke.
Better back off on the “contractor” part there, mama....those are MO’s people.
No kidding! Exactly my thought when I read this headline.
Dump her in the pile of liars that are running us into the ground. Freakin’ evil pos.
So the witch is just like Bammy in that she is not governing and is shocked, shocked that mistakes were made by her underlings who withheld all the info from her?
