Kathleen Sebelius Apologizes For Obamacare Website, Claims She's Accountable, Problems are "Fixable"
Sounds like the Medicare chief's testimony yesterday
Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius on Wednesday apologized that the new healthcare website has been a "miserably frustrating experience for way too many Americans" and told a congressional panel she was accountable for the failings while promising they were "fixable."
"Problems are being solved. But we know that we don't have a fully functioning system that consumers need and deserve," she said. "We're still at the beginning of a six-month open enrollment which extends through the end of March. And there's plenty of time to sign up."

I don't think they use the word "accountable" in the same way we would.
