More keeps coming out about the Obama Regime
knowing the Obamacare website was not ready. And Obama’s line yesterday that heavy traffic was the
problem? LIE.
From the Washington Post of all people (with
emphasis mine):
Days
before the launch of President Obama’s online health insurance marketplace,
government officials and contractors tested a key part of the Web site to see
whether it could handle tens of thousands of consumers at the same time. It
crashed after a simulation in which just
a few hundred people tried to log on simultaneously.
Despite
the failed test, federal health officials plowed ahead.
And that in spite of informed pleas not so to do:
The
Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), the federal agency in charge
of running the health insurance exchange in 36 states, invited about 10
insurers to give advice and help test the Web site.
About
a month before the exchange opened, this testing group urged agency officials
not to launch it nationwide because it was still riddled with problems,
according to an insurance IT executive who was close to the rollout.
It is *Anglican Understatement Alert* not good that
the Obama Administration had three years to get the web site ready and
failed. But what is outrageous is
that they knew it was not ready, yet went ahead anyway and gave us a
prolonged Shutdown in order to push out this pile. House Republicans compromised and passed a bill opening the
federal government in return for a one year delay in the Obamacare individual
mandate. We now see all too well
that delay was needed. But Obama
and the Democrats said no anyway and prolonged the Shutdown and risked going
past the debt ceiling deadline.
So Obama shut down in order to cram down our
throats an unready Obamacare.
And then he lies about it to boot. Now even some in the snooze media are
waking up:
Mark
Halperin, the “Game Change” coauthor and a regular on [Morning Joe], called the
rollout “unacceptable” and added that “the secrecy is unacceptable,” accusing
the administration of withholding information about how many people have signed
up.
His
fellow panelist, liberal commentator Mike Barnicle, ratcheted up from there:
“They’re lying about it now,” he said. “They’re not depriving us of
information, they are outright lying.” The former Boston Globe columnist called
the administration’s conduct “unacceptable.”
Yes, lib’ruls and I do agree on occasion. That this is just a “glitch” or two is
just Obama spin. And that is
putting it nicely.
