(CNBC ) AETNA Insurance CEO Mark Bertolini on Monday, gave a critical review of ObamaCare marketplace exchange saying, “There’s so much wrong, you just don’t know whats broken until you get a lot more of it fixed.”

Asked by CNBC  if he (Bertolini) knew that the roll out of ObamaCare would be problematic, AETNA CEO Bertolini added, his giant company’s role as an alpha tester for the system gave it a sense of how many problems ObamaCare faced on the eve of its launch.

“We were pretty nervous as we got further along,” said Bertolini, “As they started missing deadlines, we were pretty convinced it was going to be a difficult launch.”

Bertolini’s fears have been realized he said and the technological debacle seen at ObamaCare is one similar to just the handful he’s witnessed over the years.

 On the 29 May, I wrote here that AETNA Insurance, together with United Health Group and CIGNA have chosen to opt out of ‘Covered California’ the nation’s largest health insurance exchange–if ObamaCare is so wonderful, why would they do this?

What do they know that you don’t?
