Dear Commons Community,

For the past two weeks, the media has been relentless with their stories of the problems with the Affordable Care Act/Obamacare website. Kathleen Sebelius, the Secretary of Health and Human Services,  took most of the heat and apologized to the nation for the botched launch  in testimony before the House Energy and Commerce Committee.

“In these early weeks, access to health care has been a miserably frustrating experience,” the former Kansas governor said.

The cover of The New Yorker captures well the frustration that the Obama administration has experienced with trying to explain and resolve the computer glitches that have plagued the program’s main website.
