A new report from the non-partisan Congressional Research Service, commissioned by Republican Senator Tom Coburn of Oklahoma and others, finds astounding proof of the total administrative failure of the administration in implementing Obamacare. According to the report, HHS has missed one-third of the deadlines contained within the legislation for the first six months under Obama’s new health care regime.
Coburn, who last week introduced an innovative new legislative package to stop Medicare and Medicaid fraud, continues to take the lead in pointing out the administrative problems of making a program this large work — particularly when so much authority is invested in the person of HHS Sec. Kathleen Sebelius.
Below the fold is a list of the seven missed deadlines. Additionally, there were four deadlines where CRS could not reach a conclusion based on their research — meaning even more could have been missed. And this is just at the six month mark!

Don't you understand ?...... We need some of Ms. Sebelius' "re-education".
Kenny Solomon (Diary) Monday, October 4th at 2:51PM EDT (link)Click here to see how HHS Director Kathleen Sebelius Wants Re-Education For The Masses On Obamacare.
Us unwashed masses simply ‘don’t get it’ when talking about the magnanimity and beauty of all that Obamacare has to offer.
The powers-that-be – for now – need more time to find out what’s in the bill so they can fully empower the automatic-on-the-spot death panels for all Republicans and unionize the end-of-life doctors giving the orders to administer nice-size doses of Sodium Thiopental.*
So it doesn’t matter if it’s Bush’s fault that these mandated deadlines aren’t being achieved, nor does it mean a thing when the tea parties hide their typical bitter God-clinging gun-owning selves in rallies of over a million people imploring those sworn “to uphold and defend The Constitution Of The United States” to actually do so.

If you want to sit at your computer, mouth agape, seething with rage, I’ll be putting up a diary a bit later today on what’s going on with Califailure and Sodium Thiopental.
Cheers !
C'mon ... They Didn't Read The Bill
bay0wulf Tuesday, October 5th at 9:18AM EDT (link)They didn’t read the Bill before they signed it into law … BECAUSE … they had to “sign it into law so that they could see what was in it …” Remember? Pelosi said that.
So … OK … they signed it into law.
That’s like saying you have to turn in your essay homework in order to find out what your essay was about.
Did you really expect them to READ THE BILL once it was already passed? What would be the point of that? It would just be a waste of time.
IT’S ALREADY SIGNED INTO LAW!!!
Their time is valuable. Figuring out who the next sucker is takes time, teamwork & strategy. OR … there’s gotta be a good rousing game of golf … SOMEWHERE!
I wish Sebelius would permanently miss all the deadlines by 5 years.
usadying (Diary) Monday, October 4th at 2:58PM EDT (link)It would make Obamacare easier to dismantle.
I so agree!
momofthecastle (Diary) Tuesday, October 5th at 9:28AM EDT (link)Who cares if they missed the deadlines? Just proves that it is too big of a bill to be enacted or enforced.
Good,
gmscan Monday, October 4th at 4:54PM EDT (link)I’m sure they won’t mind when I miss the deadline for filing my taxes
I always apply for an extension.
edwlstr Tuesday, October 5th at 11:26AM EDT (link)Then I send in the form without a check. Then after I’m caught, I set up a payment plan. It’s called passive resistance.
Uhhhhhh......
stnmikita Monday, October 4th at 11:48PM EDT (link)I think the ‘failure’ of obamacare to meet it’s pre-spcified (and patently ridiculous) goals is exactly the plan.
Once obamacare has been unable to meet the needs of being all things to all people, there will be no other choice than to rework it with a more massive governmental oversight and of course a public option to completely destroy our best-in-class healthcare system and cement this atrocity into our lives for all time.
Libs to remain calm, all is well and right on track.

that's just rich
Veronica (Diary) Tuesday, October 5th at 1:15AM EDT (link).. and this bloated bureaucracy is in charge of my healthcare?
Thanks, socialists and marxists.
I will do everything in my power and in that of my next generation (and the one after that) to outsmart, outwit and outvote you.
This isn’t over. It’s *my* country, and I’m taking this personal.

Is Sebellius as stupid as she looks?
mirac777 (Diary) Tuesday, October 5th at 7:43AM EDT (link)I see that she apparently is that stupid. Medicaid is a STATE-run program. feds have no business setting their qualification processes.
Further proof that Government workers, lead by neanderthals like Sebellius, will ruin the greatest healthcare system in the world.

United we stand…. Divided we fall.. into the pits of Socialism.
The entire bill is stupid, but deliberately
renny (Diary) Tuesday, October 5th at 9:32AM EDT (link)Obamanationcare needs to be strangled financially and dismembered wholly. Any bill the requires 5000 decisions in a matter of mons. is by its very nature unworkable and unadministratable.
Bork it.
