Hell, we’re lucky it works at all. Here’s the budget request for building healthcare.gov. 10 billion dollars to build the online exchanges allowing those eligible Americans in a red or purple state to buy health insurance. The Teapublicans gave them 1 billion. And now, they are “outraged” that the online system isn’t working perfectly, and are demanding to know why.
It is pretty safe to say that a NINETY-F***ING PERCENT CUT IN FUNDING had something to do with it. Pretty darned safe.
Try commuting on 10% of the gas you need. Try getting by with 10% of the food you need. Try building a house with 10% of the lumber you need. How well is that likely to work for ya?
Hey, House Repubes- want to know why the website rollout sucked? Look in a friggin’ mirror.
Mr. Blunt and Cranky
That’s the 2014 budget. The exchanges were set up with prior year’s spending
And the percentages allocated vs. those requested?
Irrelevant. Nothing in the 2014 budget had anything to do with the implementation mess that has happened
