The Patriot Post® · ObamaCare Flop Private Sector's Fault

The BIG Lie

Rep. Henry Waxman (D-CA): “[Healthcare.gov] was contracted out to the private sector, and the private sector with all the money they got, couldn’t develop the website that we needed. It shouldn’t have been done by government, but we should have had more competent people in the private sector, and if anybody’s head should roll, it should be the contractors who didn’t live up to their contractual responsibility.”

As we noted earlier, fact is, the failure of the rollout is but a metaphor for the reality that no government bureaucracy is ever going to manage 18% of the U.S. economy, much less a basic commerce website for insurance comparisons.
