You Couldn’t Make This Sh!t Up . . . .
The following screen was reportedly shown by Healthcare.gov about 30 minutes before HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius testified before the House Energy and Commerce Committee today:
Spot checks reportedly verified that the message was seen by users in multiple states (North Carolina, Virginia, Utah, Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Nevada, Colorado, New Mexico, New York, Maryland, Vermont, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Hawaii, Kentucky, Minnesota, and New Hampshire). So it seems highly unlikely this was due to an outage at the state level.
But I guess that must not be the case. According to Secretary Sebelius today, “The website never crashed. It is functional, but at a very slow speed and very low reliability.”
As I said in the title: you couldn’t make this sh!t up.

Sebelius =. Tool
The plane didn’t crash either. The pilot merely deviated from the flight plan by making an unscheduled mountainside landing. That’s all it was. Really.
She’s technically accurate….. the term “crash” would imply that the site worked at some point……
Saw it this morning, along with Sebelius’s statement of denial.
Fell off chair laughing. Startled Mikey out of a perfectly good nap.
You know, the benefit to all of this is that when you laugh hard, you lower your blood pressure, increase the good stuff flowing through your veins and arteries, push the stale air out of your lungs, and burn off some calories from laughing.
They should rename this plan and call it ObamaDon’tCare. This is healthcare of mass destruction. Truly an economic jihad against the American people.
Have at least a few people awakened to the simple fact that like the proverbial frog in the pot, the water temp has been elevated to nearly boiling and if we do not figure out a way to get out of the pot, we will very soon no longer have that option?
First they took over the auto industry, regulated pretty much every other industry into oblivion, taxed every blessed thing you do, and made dependent slaves of otherwise perfectly functional human beings. They listen to your phone transmissions and monitor every business transaction (unless it’s illegal), have access to your banking and health records. And with almost no opposition.
Gee, thanks, all! Best bet we have is to send some adults to DC in the next election. Unfortunately, it is probably too little, too late, but we can at least try.
Yeah, I blame the childish so-called conservatives who sat home pitching their little fits for sending this bunch of socialists back to DC. Really, there is plenty of blame to go around, but that may have been our last chance to save the Republic.
Wow, Joe Isuzu is writing the talking points for the Secretary of HHS? Or, is it Baghdad Bob?
Both Sebelius and Obama claim they should be held accountable.
Fine. They should fork over their resignations immediately.
This system goes down more often than a bar girl I knew in Korea.
I know, I know but I don’t get to use that joke anymore. Thank you, I can find my own way out.
Check is in the mail, I won’t in your mouth, Obamacare will work…
I laughed at a post on Facebook today that said “it’s unfair to compare the Obamacare website to the Titanic. The Titanic had 3 good days, and her Captain went down with the ship”.
Her words regarding the web site remind of all the programmers who tell me that what I report as a bug in their software is actually an “undocumented feature”…
Someone might explain to her that using the term “operates with slow speed and low reliability” is the definition of an unusable web site for most consumer product sites.
Well, at least it’s still hosting pages–granted they’re error/maintenance pages. Seems like that broken site is wasting a damn good pipe, though. maybe the speed is new
