Exceptional Failed State: HHS official avoids explaining why Obama Care website crashed during testing, or why insurance companies raised alarms! Stop calling health care a “product”!

It really looks more and more like Obama Care healthcare.gov is a False Flag op.   In an interview with CNN, the pretentious Secretary of the U.S. Department of health and Human Services totally blew off a direct question about insurance companies raising concerns over the fact the website crashed during testing, just days before the official start date.

“According to congressional investigators, just weeks before the launch about two thirds if insurers had some concerns, specific concerns that the website would not be ready.  Just days before the launch a test was conducted and the website crashed with just a few hundred users at that time.  How was the decision made to still go forward?”-Sanjay Gupta, CNN

“There are people in this country that have waited for decades for affordable health coverage…….What’s clear is we have a product.  The product really works!  We have created a market where there wasn’t a market.  People have competitive private plans…..Waiting is not really an option.  People can sign up on the website, at the call center, in person…..”-Kathleen Sebelius, HHS

That’s the HHS secretary’s long winded direct response to why insurance companies are concerned with the healthcare.gov website, and why it failed in testing, and why the launch date was not changed?!

Another point: She strongly states “The product really works!”  How can she make that claim when so far it has failed!

Also:  Since when did health care become a product?  Health care is a service.  A product is something tangible that you can carry around or use as a tool at home or work.  When you get the oil changed on your car, was the actual process of changing the oil a product or service?  The oil and oil filter are products, the act of changing the oil is a service.  When you go to the doctor for a health check up that’s a service, not a product.  If you get some kind-o-artificial implant/medical device into your body the implant/medical device is the product, the actual medical operation to put it there is a service.   The evil drugs you’re prescribed afterwards are products.  But, the act of writing your prescription is a service of your doctor, not a product.

By the way, at the very beginning of the CNN interview Sebelius blamed “volume” for creating and revealing “issues” with healthcare.gov.  She never once explained what those problems are!  Throughout the interview she never really answered the hard questions asked by Gupta, including why President Obama was not made aware of the problems before the launch date.
