Sebelius Asks For Some Slack Regarding Glitchy Obamacare Exchange Site

Asks for the same treatment Apple gets

A number of people trying to access HealthCare.gov or equivalent state level marketplaces this morning are experiencing technical difficulties. This will not be surprising to devoted Moneybox readers, and at a briefing I attended yesterday at the Department of Health and Human Services the dedicated health care beat reporters of Washington, DC were also armed with questions on the subject. HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius's answer came primarily in the form of an analogy.

"A number of people trying to access HealthCare.gov or equivalent state level marketplaces this morning are experiencing technical difficulties."

Just wait'll they try to 'access' actual medical care.

It is small consolation, but at least the people who always confidently declare that "This is how they do it in Canada/UK/Europe and they love it! There are no lines, the service is top-quality, there are no limitations on what procedures you are allowed to ask for ... and it is all FREE FREE FREE!" will get to live in the nightmare they dreamed up themselves.
