Insurance Salesman-in-chief
Six years ago, the Foundation for Health Coverage Education created a web site that has the entire U.S. public health care system on-line. Our board consists of Leonard Schaeffer -- the founder of WellPoint, the 32nd largest company in the U.S.; Alain Enthoven, a world renowned health care economist and former undersecretary of defense; and Congressman Tom McClintock among others. Since its establishment, over two million Americans have used our services free of charge. Last March, Mr. Schaeffer introduced us to the HHS folks. We showed them how our site works and offered it to them to use. They were very impressed, and told us so. They must have been because they simply copied the concept and claimed it as their own. Here is the video of the President touting the first of its kind web site.
Imitation is the highest form of flattery.

Re: Insurance Salesman-in-chief
Mr. Lebherz, I recalled your earlier post on this very subject after reading this one. It looks like in 2 months the Feds have spent $25 million on essentially what you offered them for free. Amazing.

Phil, it's outrageous theft. But since the government is copying your site, at least healthcare.gov is likely to work, which is more than I can say for this administration's other projects.

Eventually, of course, they'll mess it up. And then they'll say, "hey, we tried it and it doesn't work."
Infuriating.
