The botched rollout of ObamaCare is getting a thumbs-down in Kansas — home state of Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius.
Only 371 Kansans have signed up for medical coverage through health-care.gov — and there’s considerable doubt that the Web site will be glitch-free by the White House’s Nov. 30 deadline.
Kansas Sen. Pat Roberts has even called for Sebelius — a former governor in the Midwestern state — to resign over the debacle.
“Senator Roberts does not think the site will be completely functioning at the end of the month,” said Sarah Little, spokeswoman for the GOP legislator.
Veteran health-care consultant Robert Laszewski said he expected Web-site snafus to continue through early next year.
“They’re doing the testing now. This is ridiculous,” he said.
Meanwhile, Sebelius is lowering expectations over the re-launch. “The 30th of November is not a magic go, no-go date. It is a work of constant improvement,” she said.
