Lordy it just gets funnier and funnier! Obamacare troubleshooters faint from exhaustion Website plagued with copyright violation, old technology, sky-high costs President Obama and the Democrats may have won the fight to keep Obamacare funding intact, but the president’s signature health-care takeover is self-destructing as even Healthcare.gov contractors say they are falling ill and “fainting in conference calls” because they can’t keep up with demand to fix the program’s glitches.
