Microsoft exec to oversee Obamacare website
New York (CNNMoney) - Tech executive Kurt DelBene, who recently served as president of Microsoft's key Office division, was tapped by the government Tuesday to oversee the continued efforts to fix the troubled Obamacare website.
The move was announced by Kathleen Sebelius, the secretary of Health and Human Services. DelBene has agreed to stay on the job through at least the first half of next year, she said.
FULL STORY
The GOP sabatours won't want to hear this, we are sick of the GOP bs and lies about Obama care . What has the GOP got to offer on health care?????
Sounds like a reasonable idea... Now for the GOP attacks to begin.

Microsoft's Office division. Wouldn't it have made more sense to get someone who's run an eCommerce shop instead of someone who runs Word, Excel, and Powerpoint?
Looks like Podesta is changing things up already. Conservatives are going to try to run on bashing Obamacare next year and are going to regret it badly.
just wait till the law effects union workersnext yr....you havent seen anything yet

Do a web search for " Office 365 ". It is powered by "the cloud". You can do a web search for that, too.

Get someone who has successfully run a MAJOR eCommerce project. Amazon is the gold standard. Right now, healthcare dot gov isn't up to speed with the website coke put up to enter codes from their bottle caps.
much ? I think we have witnessed an $800 million attack by the Kochs and RWNJs, and it is still the law. The unions are on the side of workers unlike the Republican Party.
Dutch – Please ignore Fair. She could find gloom and doom in heaven.
@Dutch-So I see you and Malory Archer didn`t like my scandal comparison regarding Clinton and Christie. Let me remind you that the both of you have used the deaths of 20 children(Sandy Hook) to push your poltical agenda. As Rudy would say, "Nice try, but we got ya".

What does Office 365 have to do with a site that is needed to collect information, sell products, and handle payments?.

TRANSLATION: "I have not figured out yet that 'Office 365' actually is an eCommerce site with millions of users that have to purchase the 'Office 365' product before they can sign in to actually use it."
Okay, cnn censors, I'll try again. Am I the only one that knows that information can be manipulated on the Cloud? The security risks on microsoft put norton and others in business for a very long time. Go capitalism.
@ Tampa Tim....Regardless of RWNJ's bs etc.... Obamacre will rot from the inside out. Nothing needs or can be done to stop it. We've just experienced the tip of the iceberg....and its happening right in front of you, right now.

Step 1 – Get told how to inform yourself.
Step 2 – Attack anyway without going to inform yourself and thereby prove you're uninformed.
Step 3 – ....
Step 4 – Profit(?).

Yawn. It's like watching the GOP/Teatrolls dig through all the arguments they made about SS and Medicare etc. and then just remake them. How's that third rail of politics doing, guys? Gonna keep it up once the ACA is part of it? Sure you will, because you're nothing if not entirely intractable, ideologically entrenched and incapable of change.
Good to see after years to get ready for implementation they looked to someone competent.
