​Democratic senator Bill Nelson of Florida suggested a punishment for federal contractors responsible for the dysfunctional Healthcare.gov: Burn their fingers.

“As someone who has fought and bled for [the health-care law] . . . I want you to hold them account [sic], I want you to burn their fingers and make them pay for not being responsible and producing a product that all of us can be proud [sic],” Nelson told Health and Human Services secretary Kathleen Sebelius at Wednesday’s Senate Finance Committee hearing.
