Tick-Tock: Sharyl Attkisson Documents Increasingly Panicked CMS as Healthcare.gov Counted Down to Launch

Launch? Well, detonation on the launching pad, anyway.

Compare to the last post: Chao testified he removed the Anonymous Shopper feature because to have foisted such a flawed bit of software on an unsuspecting public would have been "unconscionable."

Yet the bulk of Healthcare.gov was... to call it flawed would be like saying Obama is slightly fond of golf, television, and himself.

Chao has repeatedly testified under oath that he had no inordinate concerns & no idea that the website would have so many problems on Day 1.

HHS’ Sebelius, CMS’ Tavenner and The White House have made similar statements.

Chao emails staff: “I DO NOT WANT A REPEAT OF WHAT HAPPENED NEAR THE END OF DECEMBER 2005 WHERE http://t.co/tthjnYyIi2 HAD A MELTDOWN”

Documents: 5 days to launch: “the results are not good and not consistent at all.”

You guys remember the rumors that CBSNews was thinking about firing Attkisson for bringing too much of a partisan edge to her reportage?

Yeah. She's the one who lives in a partisan fantasyland, huh?
