America, I told you so. You were bamboozled.

Where would a hospital administrator be today – or a physician, for that matter – if they practiced health care regulation the way that U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius has been practicing it up until today?

I’ll tell you where: In court, discredited, and with a looming potential liability.

But at the federal level, Sebelius is immune. Testifying on Capitol Hill Wednesday about the disaster that is the ObamaCare rollout, she finally owned up to the numerous mistakes she has made. However, she still tried to hide under this umbrella of ignorance, claiming she does not have enough data or information to provide to the American people.

Previously, she skirted around the issue, by choosing to only answer the questions she wanted to answer. And as a typical political bureaucrat, she also attempted to deflect criticism by changing the discussion from what’s really important and placing blame on the ObamaCare website’s contractors, as well as the GOP.

"And frankly, a political atmosphere where the majority party, at least in the House, was determined to stop this anyway they possibly could ... was not an ideal atmosphere,” Sebelius said at a community health center in Austin.

I understand that projects of this magnitude can be tricky to implement, but the Affordable Care Act has been a problem from the beginning – one that is proving to only get worse.

So let’s analyze this. We now have overwhelming evidence that you won’t be able to keep your doctor. We also have evidence that shows insurance companies are dropping individuals from their plans at an alarming rate. We have no idea what reimbursements are going to be for health care facilities, and the price of insurance premiums is skyrocketing.

And all of this is being monitored by a group of Washington bureaucrats who can’t give us any answers. Why? Because they have delegated the bulk of the work to private contractors, who have even admitted that they have done a poor job.

Meanwhile, the American taxpayer is already on the hook for millions of dollars for a health care system that does not work – and it will only require more money to try to fix it.

So what should we ask for? The immediate resignation of Sebelius. She is not qualified. We don’t need an elitist, bureaucratic Washington insider to make decisions on how to manage our health care system. President Obama should back off from this health care law, which should really be called The Health Reconstruction Project of 2014 – since that’s what we’re facing in our current situation.

The moral obligation of providing affordable health insurance for Americans is something I support. But what I do not support is the incompetency of Sebelius, which has created and overwhelming catastrophe for the profession that I love.

one of the goals of Obamacare was to provide subsidies to people who could not afford health insurance...these people still can't afford health insurance because the health insurers just raised rates in effect capturing 100% or more of the government subsidies...so in actuality the government subsidies only pad the profits of the health insurers...

Sebelius has surely proved that she is beyond INCOMPETENT to oversee Obamacare...

Sebelius has proved she is beyond incompetent to even use a toilet properly.

The one thing the Fuhrer is good at, putting under qualified people and morons in high stakes positions.

@OP

I agree with everything you said except one small item.

You stated that Sebelius had immunity. From my understanding,
as of Sept. 1, She no longer has that benefit.

The Pope issued an Apostolic Letter on July 16th that effectively stripped away the immunity of all Judges, Attorneys, government officials and all entities established under the Roman Curia. ALL corporations are established under Roman Curia.

They are now liable for what they say and do and every last one of them can be prosecuted.

Maybe that is why the Lady changed her tune.

As long as she is a part of the Obama Administration she does. Many Presidential staffers and Administration members over the years have hid behind that.

"Experience and the law of unintended consequences suggest the "Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act" will neither protect patients nor make health services affordable. Actual caring will resemble that of the U.S. Postal Service. Services will be rationed and denied in arbitrary manner after long waiting, as in other countries with government health systems. Advocacy groups will institute something like a 'disease-of-the-month-club,' to apply political pressure to cover various conditions. In short, decisions which ought to be made by patients and physicians will instead be made by cold, distant bureaucracies. Switzerland has a market-based system which works. Care there is as good as in the US at 58% of the per capita cost. Such a system was not even considered here, because the goal is government control, not accessible, affordable or quality care."

written a couple of years ago by a Friend of mine,Medical Doctor,who studied in the US and Switzerland,and is quite familiar with both systems!
