Kathleen Sebelius may be the new heroine of the right. That's right! How's that?
A cogent argument can be made that HHS Secretary Sebelius, foreseeing the possible economic disaster resulting from the ACA(Affordable Care Act), decided to sabotage the bill by appointing totally incompetent officials (e.g. Marilyn Tavenner) to oversee its implementation and by approving an equally incompetent software firm to write the massive code.
One can claim her work and aims were achieved with the emergence of a non-functioning website, riddled with problems, often not working, and with no data security provisions in place. These conditions persist, though the website now seems to work - but only after millions more were expended to correct the errant code. Additionally, there are thousands of pages of sometimes contradictory regulations required to implement the 2000 page bill. It is certain an army of administrators, operatives, and lawyers will feed off these regulations for generations to come.
It is inconceivable that someone (Sebelius, former governor of Kansas) with vast executive experience in a relatively conservative state would allow such a debacle to obtain without design. Indeed, one could sustain a belief this is a post-modern form of intelligent design. To support the claim, one only needs note she sustains the debacle by citing irrelevant and often inaccurate data about the site.
It is only a matter of time before Sebelius becomes the poster child of ACA opponents. Well done, Kathleen! Perhaps one day Ted or Rush will celebrate you. :)
