Obama on NBC: I “Got Burned” By Obamacare Website That Didn’t Work

Or,

The Buck Stops In My Ass?

After discussing the content of the Affordable Care Act in his exclusive interview with President Obama, NBC News’ Chuck Todd moved on to the troubles that have plagued HealthCare.gov since the website launched on October 1st. Expressing serious frustration with the way the law rolled out, Obama said his team–and the American people–”got burned” by a website that doesn’t work.  

Having said all that, Obama added, “given that I’ve been burned already with a website–well, more importantly, the American people have been burned by–a website that has been dysfunctional, what we’ve also been doing is creating a whole other set of tracks.” He stressed how important it was for people to be able to sign up for insurance over the phone and in person. “What I’m confident about is that anybody who wants to buy health insurance through the marketplace, they are going to be able to buy it,” he said.
