Key ObamaCare official used threats, 'tantrums' to push website launch despite concerns, email claims

Key ObamaCare official used threats, 'tantrums' to push website launch despite concerns, email claims | Fox News

A key ObamaCare official engaged in a “cruel and uncaring march” to launch the federal health care website last year and wasn’t open to seeking a delay despite concerns, according to a newly revealed email from her former second-in-command.

The damning email from Michelle Snyder, formerly the No. 2 official at the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, was released to FoxNews.com ahead of a Wednesday House Science, Space and Technology subcommittee hearing on the security and botched rollout of Healthcare.gov.

Take a look at the maniac. Bitch ought to be slapped and fired. "Cruel and uncaring" is how I'd describe the administration. Just as we thought, they didn't give a rats ass if the site was ready or running properly as long as it got opened. Quality be damned.

Not the crux of your post, but this struck me:

The committee is investigating how much Park and the White House knew about the problems with the website before the launch.

Park has distanced himself from the website’s problems, telling a House committee last year that he did not “actually have a really detailed knowledge” of the website before the launch and was “not even familiar with the development and testing regimen that happened prior to October 1.”

However, the emails from Park, who briefed the White House on the progress of the website, seem to indicate he had more knowledge of the website than his statements indicate. In the emails, he mentions specific teams, hardware and user targets for the website.


A man whose title was Chief Technology Officer of the U.S wasn't familiar with the development and testing regimen?:shock:

He's a goddamned liar and ought to be strung up in the committee chamber. It's bad enough we got a piece of **** law, but then we get a piece of **** $600 million dollar website to go with it.

You'd think the Democrats would show a little pride in their work and get this **** right, but as usual it's symbolism over substance.........get it open, ready or not.

This "accident", by "not realizing" that the selected federal contractor was getting paid to produce a steaming pile of ****, was more likely intended to punish those wrong thinking states that did not open their own exchanges. It was perhaps a "work around" for the SCOTUS dropping the intended medicaid blackmail (for not expanding the better freebie) originally built into PPACA. IMHO, the thinking was that the lack of ability to get "access to" the latest federal handouts in those wrong thinking (red?) states would cause a backlash to unseat the republicant leadership in the states that did not create state exchanges.

The problem was that many state exchanges also did not manage to create a demand among poor folks to actually pay toward their premiums either. The demand for paying more (anything?) every month in PPACA premiums just was not there for those struggling to make ends meet unless they were currently facing large medical care bills. Making healthy folks spend money, that they cannot spare, on medical care insurance "just in case" is not popular and never will be.

Of course it was unpopular because they had to buy off Democrat Senators to vote this **** through.
