via Obama admits botched online healthcare launch – FT.com.

As I read the article my vision was of President Obama as an insurance salesman saying:

I’ve got just the policy for you!

On a more serious note, it is deeply disturbing that the President of the US needs to intervene because of glitches in a US Government web-site. Maybe the Republicans were right after all?

Let me turn this to an open question:

Should there be a moratorium on the roll-out of Obamacare to permit an independent risk assessment and re-costing of the program?

Any thoughts?
