The Health and Human Services Department (HHS) responsible for the ObamaCare program says it needs $1.8 billion to maintain the health insurance web portal so citizens without health coverage can shop for plans. Yes, that is billion with a ‘B’. To maintain the web portal for a year. In return, HHS promises that healthcare.gov will improve for 2015. Does that sound like a good use of your tax dollars?
About $1.2 billion of the funding will come from fees tied to Obamacare, while $600 million will be sought from Congress, officials said in HHS-specific comments about Mr. Obama’s new budget proposal.
“If Congress funds the president’s budget … this would fully fund the ongoing implementation of the Affordable Care Act,” HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius said.
The agency also vowed to improve HealthCare.gov before the second round of open enrollment begins on Nov. 15, after software glitches and capacity issues ruined its Oct. 1 debut last year and nearly derailed the overhaul in its first year of implementation.

Hi this is somewhat of off topic but I was wondering if blogs use
WYSIWYG editors or if you have to manually code with HTML.
I’m starting a blog soon but have no coding know-how so I wanted to
get advice from someone with experience. Any help
would be enormously appreciated!
What happened to the 6 billon that disappeared when Killary was sec of state
I will not comply
Laws all created towards. Obvious systems of dysfunction!
For the wages of sin is death
Am I the only one that sees this as a huge embezzlement scheme? They’ve “spent” billions on this and the website barely functions. So where did all the money go? I don’t give a $#%&!@* what anyone says, the government is not that inefficient. Point being; There’s no possible way ALL that money went into this. My guess is it’s being funneled somewhere else.
Amen Jaime
OBAMA CARE WILL GO WHEN THE REPUBLICANS CONTROL THE SENATE
THIS WILL BREAK HARRY REID AND NANCY PELOSI’S HEART
no absolutely not
HILLARY WANTS THE WHITE HOUSE SO BADLY THAT SHE HAS TURNED ON OBAMA LIKE A SNAKE OTHER WISE SHE WOULD BE CASTING HER HYPOCRITICAL VOTE FOR HIM
