As a supporter of President Obama, his decisions are usually defended. So, the President's desire for many uninsured people to gain access to heath care insurance was a good decision since this essential benefit was long overdue. However, the truth must be told when it comes to the health care website. It is understandable if a couple of days go by and there are flaws with signing up for healthcare. However, it is a shame that after 20 days, there is no change in users' abilities to easily gain access to sign up for healthcare. The web-site is not user-friendly and this demonstrates a misuse of taxpayer money since these IT contractors were paid an enormous sum and have not successfully delivered the product. For instance, CGI was paid $290 million of taxpayers money..........for what? There should not be any need at this point to have to gain help from other IT personnel since this is going cost taxpayers even more money to fix the job which the original IT contractors could not do. It is more shameful to know that some business websites that are more complex than the government health care website did not cost as much and there was no such difficulties in launching their websites. So what does that say? Frankly, the IT contractors who have not delivered a user-friendly website needs to pay back the multi-millions dollars for failing to provide a successful product to the American public. Furthermore Kathleen Sebelius should certainly be fired over such a disaster.
