Obamacare: Oops

Mistakes were made.

On the bright side, Bin Laden is dead and GM is alive!

In her defense, what difference does it make at this point?

"Former Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius acknowledged Friday that she made mistakes leading up to the rollout of the Affordable Care Act, worrying too much about whether there’d be a market for Obamacare and spending “too little time clearly on the technology side.”

I want people to focus on this remarkable statement. It's so incredible it nakedly exposes what 'extremists' have been saying all along - bureaucrats don't understand markets. It's not their fucking jobs to understand them. That's what the free-market is for. It gauges demand better than government ever could.

Yet, we're led to believe there is no free-enterprise system without these dopes.

Not only that. A private enterprise would have BOTH sides covered. They'd know if there was a demand for their product or service and they'd have the technology side already in place. Why? Something called incentive. If they mess up, they lose clients and go out of business. There are all sorts of motivations and incentives to get things right on the private side. Money is scarce after all.

Not with the government. They just throw bad money after bad money until they get it right. 

If she spent so much time worrying about it, then they clearly didn't understand what they were getting themselves into.
