A SPOONFUL OF SUGAR IS
NOT GOING TO FIX A WEBSITE
OW THAT the government shutdown is over,
the bungled rollout of
the federal Obamacare
exchange website is drawing the
attention it might have otherwise
drawn weeks ago. So President
Barack Obama took to the Rose
N
Garden on Monday to do a bit of
crisis management. There, he correctly maintained that “there’s no
sugarcoating” the problems that
people trying to use the website are
experiencing. The problem is, he’s
still doing a lot of sugarcoating!
OBAMA: Of course, you’ve probably heard that healthcare.gov,
the new website where people
Deborah
Lielasus,
54, tried to
sign up for
coverage
on Oct. 1 in
Porstmouth,
N.H., but got
only as far
as creating
an account
before the
website
stopped
working.
