Obamacare: More of a Train Wreck Than Originally Thought

 The Affordable Health Care Act, lovingly known as Obamacare, is becoming more of a disaster everyday. The law was passed in 2010 with Democrats voting it in. No Republicans signed on as they had the foresight to see what was coming.

Having three years to get this thing ready to greet the insurance buying public, the administration has totally botched it. The website

one visits to obtain Obamacare is as much of a disaster as the law itself. Obama and his cronies spent over $300 million dollars on the technology only to have it fail. How much more $$$ will it take to fix it? 

The White House and Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Kathleen Sebelius are going out of their way to protect the president on the web site's failure. Sebelius insists Obama didn't know the site had mega problems until they rolled it out on Oct. 1.

I'm sorry, but it's hard to believe that the president was not aware that his so-called single 'signature' domestic accomplishment was about to blow up. After all, this is his legacy. One would think the president would keep up with the monstrosity every step of the way. So, either he knew the website had problems or he didn't. If he didn't it would have been Sebelius' responsibility to inform the president. She was derelict in her duties if she didn't. If he knew he should have taken steps to delay it's inception until it was right. He didn't.

 Sebelius has a lot to answer for. This roll out is her baby. Some in Congress are calling for her to be fired. That's not going to happen. Obama has a habit of promoting those who screw up. Former Obama press secretary, Robert Gibbs, said publicly that heads must roll over this. There's a question in some circles that Sebelius is not qualified for heading HHS. Congress will get there shot next week when Sebelius is to appear before a House committee looking into the website debacle.

Democrats on the committee, such as Rep. Henry Waxman, keep touting how good Obamacare is, despite the website failure. The President is also running around the country saying the website might be flawed, but the product is good. Really?? Read More: Millions to Lose Insurance Due to O-care

Two weeks ago, during the debt ceiling debate, Republicans first hung their argument on defunding  Obamacare. When that didn't work the argued that since Obamacare was not ready for 'prime time,' as they say, that the individual mandate for people to sign up

for the program should be delayed a year. Obama had granted a reprieve for businesses but refused to for individuals. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said that will never happen. Not so fast, Harry. Many of your democrat friends who are up for reelection are getting antsy as they see Obamacare is becoming the train wreck it was said to be. There are hints some may defy Reid and the White House and call for an individual mandate delay since they now have their backs against the wall in their home states.

 As for the Republicans, they would so well to just sit back and let Obamacare fall under its own weight. Those who wish to run against incumbent Democrats may well have a diamond in the rough.
