Obamacare, Failing Ahead of Schedule

  "The disaster can presumably be fixed. As Cohn pointed out on Friday, many of the state-level exchanges are working better than the federal one, and somewhere there must be a tech-world David Petraeus capable of stabilizing HealthCare.gov." But a general can relieve a subordinate of command a lot easier than I expect the people responsible for this mess. Some evidence already in http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6581567 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6581567 where they're talking about a "tech 'surge'", i.e. more cluelessness from people who've never read or experienced a bunch of the lessons in The Mythical Man Month. And I've read that the state exchanges depend on the federal for subsidy calculations, and that tests of that function are showing a lot of errors. And his claim that there is a single, let along exchange based "right-of-center vision for health care reform" is ludicrous.
