The Face That Launched a Million Glitches

No wonder “Glitch Girl” is on the run, Americans facing health insurance increases of 500-1000%, thanks to ObamaCare


The pleasant looking face of the Obamacare website is gone. The young lady on the home page of the Healthcare.gov site has been replaced by nebulous circles.

It seems the glitch ridden website needed a new start after four weeks of embarrassing failures. After the Obama administration spent $600 million on a lousy site that was designed by a Canadian company with a track record of failure, the President had to resort to advising Americans to send in paper applications or call the hotline, never mind that you may be on hold for hours on end

While Kathleen Sebelius, Secretary of Health and Human Services, is not taking responsibility for the web debacle and, of course, the President refuses to take any of the blame for any of his fiascoes, the White House has found a fall girl, the website lady.

Finally, someone in the Obama administration has been fired. Unfortunately, it was just the young woman who posed for the picture on the website, the face that launched a million glitches. Today, she may be in protective custody, as hidden as the supposed ObamaCare savings.

On the other hand, “Glitch Girl” may have asked to be removed from a site that has been a disaster from day one. Supposedly, it was going to be fixed with a “tech surge,” but there were more problems last weekend, and, tonight, the troubled site is down once again.

It has been almost one month since the site’s launch, yet, we still do not have any concrete numbers on how many people have signed up for health insurance on the site. Today, in congressional testimony, Marilyn Tavenner, leader of the federal agency in charge of the Healthcare.gov site, refused to divulge the number of people who have enrolled in ObamaCare. While she was forthcoming with apologies, she was not forthcoming with the truth about this debacle. Obviously, the administration is too embarrassed to share the facts with the American people.
