Who's to Blame?

With ObamaCare costing almost $1 billion in just a few years you would think that the new program would be a hit and help millions of people who do not have health insurance. But after a rocky launch of the new Health Care website, the Secretary of Health and Human Services, Kathleen Sebelius, resigned just a few days ago (FOX News). Was this the right move? And was the disastrous launch entirely Sebelius’ fault?

                Even though that Sebelius should have taken some of the blame she defiantly should not have been the main problem in the launch of the ObamaCare website. Obama should also get most of the blame for being a very poor supervisor in the creation of the website. It was President Obama’s idea to launch this health care bill and he should own up to his mistakes too. There has been a trend where Barack has deflected his issues off of other people and will not own up to his own mistakes. He set Sebilius up to fail by not guiding her in the right direction and it came back to hurt the entire Democratic Party who supported ObamaCare. This is really the entire Democratic Party’s fault for backing up a program that was set up to fail in the first place.

                This is where the Republican Party differs from the Democrats. The Republicans try to save spending on things that are vital for the function of the United States but the Democrats seem to fund different programs that not only cost a boat load of money but also hurt the American people. Millions have lost their insurance plans due to ObamaCare after they were promised that they could keep them and were pretty much lied to the American people. It not only hurt President Obama but it hurt the entire Democratic Party. Approval ratings plummeted and it seems like the Republicans are going into this November with a full head of speed and they are all hungry to take back the Senate from the Democrats.

                This entire situation has been a huge mess. American tax dollars have been wasted on one website alone and that money is gone forever. The thing about this is that Obama will face no further consequences after he leaves office in January of 2016 and he will just pass the problems that he created off to the next President of the United States. This will just lead to more problems that we don’t have time to handle and that is what’s scaring me to this day.
