It’s time for Kathleen Sebelius to go home.
After taking a whopping one sixth of the national budget to implement a program that: no one understood, was passed in secret, was poorly written (we think, but who, aside from Greta Van Susteran has actually read the thing?), deceptive in premise (“we must do this because the poor in America have no care”; odd, I’ve seen thousands over the years), and obscenely wasteful (the few first hundred million couldn’t even get the program’s website to work correctly), it’s time for her to be honorable. Go home.

The great irony here is that if Ms. Sebelius were working for any company other than the American government, she would have been fired the day the first citizen tried to log on to sign up for health insurance and couldn’t.
Can you imagine an executive working for Bill Gates, taking one sixth of the Microsoft budget, creating a program that couldn’t even perform for one day, and staying with the company—even if she pleaded with Mr. Gates, “I’m so sorry to have wasted hundreds of millions of dollars on a program that won’t work, sir, but can I have another shot at it?”
This would be ludicrous. Bill Gates would have her fired in a nanosecond. Why? Because he has skin in the game. He has to run a company that actually works.
WHY OBAMACARE WON’T WORK
The problem for us taxpayers and Ms. Sebelius is that we don’t perceive that we have skin in the game. No one really does (we think), so let her stay as the head of the Department of Health and Human Services and try again. This is disgraceful. And it is the very reason that Obamacare simply won’t work.
Since no one is accountable for anything, it doesn’t matter who tries to create a health care program (even if they have no medical background, which most don’t) that is supposed to run like a finely tuned business (do any of the creators even have business backgrounds?). But they have freedom to do whatever they feel is important for the rest of us because no one really owns Obamacare. It is simply another gigantic program that is supposed to do great things for all people.
