That sounds like a good thing to me. Let the lefties doubledown on a policy that began with overwhelming opposition, started its implementation as a laughing stock epic fail then proceeded to sink like a ship built with chicken wire for a hull.

I was thinking they might of done that to lessen the possibility of subpoena...although I am not that the oversight committee couldn't get to them.

Hmmm.

There are competent data base people in the big agencies of the Government ...wonder if they talked to any of them.

Take heart. It will still be royally screwed up even with a single payer system.

It was on here a couple days ago. They spent millions, then ripped off other websites and software to cobble together something whose component parts could not handle traffic.

That fits the aforementioned conspiracy theory.

I don’t think they’ll get a single-payer system made law for a decade or two after this but it would be easier to Clowar & Piven than the current fluster cluck. Put all those eggs in one basket and see what happens.

Billions will be spent over the next years to NOT get it working. It’s the next Solyndra — a money laundering operation. Thanks Ernest.

From the comments at Hot Air:

**********************************EXCERPT***********************************************

Officials feared that if they called on outsiders to help with the technical details of how to run a commerce website, those companies could be subpoenaed by Hill Republicans, the former aide said. So the task fell to trusted campaign tech experts.

What does this even mean? Congress can’t subpoena “trusted campaign tech experts”? What law/rule is that?

Interesting. Very well put. I had not thought of it exactly that way but you are certainly correct.

Which is why they only hired “trusted campaign tech experts” instead of people who actually knew what they were doing.

They can subpoena them, but presumably, they will be more willing to lie to congress, and even if they’re unwilling to technically commit perjury for their masters, they would still be much more inclined to filibuster and give evasive and deceptive answers, and be willing to embarrass themselves to protect the administration. Outside contractors would have much more incentive to be candid, and not just to the minimum extent required by law.

O'Bunghole is the biggest, most dishonest, lamest whining loser ever to hold the Office. What a public embarrassment. Manipulating the "Government Shutdown" in a fashion resulting in the presidential residence receiving a new nickname... "The Spite House." Designing the O'Bunghole-Care website in a manner so clenched-up with paranoia that the entire thing is completely useless after $300 MILLION in wasted expense!!

WHAT AN INCREDIBLE LOSER!!!!

LMFSWCAO!!!!!!!!!!!!

Only a Democrat could be so disingenuous as to pretend that this rumpclown is anything but a massive failure, and only another "bruvvah" could be so dim a racist bulb as to not be supremely disappointed in this greasey faggot of an asshat.

IMHO.

8^D
