At a press conference in June, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D., Calif.) celebrated the last hundred days before the rollout of the Obamacare exchanges with Department of Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius and other House Democrats.
In her introduction of Sebelius, Pelosi described her as “a great secretary. Her implementation of this is fabulous.”
Since the Oct. 1 launch of Obamacare, however, Sebelius and the entire administration have come under intense criticism for what has been widely agreed to be a disastrous rollout. President Obama himself said the website’s failures were unacceptable and promised to fix them.
The National Journal‘s Ron Fournier suggested Sebelius step down Tuesday on MSNBC, and many other media figures and lawmakers have called for her firing as well.
Mainstream media and comedians have continually ripped the administration for not only the failures of the website, but also its dodging on how many have enrolled.
