This was a monumental mistake to go live and explode on the launch pad. On the other side of the aisle democrats say republicans want nothing more than to dismantle the Affordable Care act known as obamacare. Nobody in this country believes that republicans want to fix the website. Caught in the crossfire two Key Technology officials, repeatedly questioned about why after years of work and hundreds of millions the website was not completely tested before i
