Sebelius to a corporate COO. Republicans, as usual don't know what the fuck they are talking about. The ACA website has complex interlinks, checking several databases at once and correlating that information to one specific person or family. No commercial website does anything more than match a specific person to a credit card company verification site and to a product being purchased - that is immensely less complex than what the ACA site is doing.

A corporate COO handles traffic between maybe two points at any given time, nothing more. Such a person doesn't come close to what a low level manager involved with the ACA website is handling.

Sebelius has a function where she has to manage every thing from the National Institute of Health, to involvement in local school health programs. She has managers to handle those functions. Her scope is enormous and she doesn't get down to a level of managing a particular website unless problem develop with that site, she is deeply involved in solving the ACA site problem.
