Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius has since, however, declared that Healthcare.gov is "simple and user-friendly, and the coverage is affordable."

Wow. No wonder the pimp doesn't want to testify.

[bert]

Simple Sebelius will not testify because in the words of 3 CPO, the web debacle is beyond her capacity.

She could offer no substantive testimony.

The result will be that no one can provide any substantive information simply because no one in the top ten layers of administrative ignorati knows anything first hand.

Like Lois Learner, these demowomen want their ‘say’ but they won’t do it under oath.

Oh Happy, Happy , Joy, Joy.
The House is going to have another hearing to find out what went wrong and punish any wrongdoers.
Just like they did with Fast & Furious, Benghazi, the IRS and God only knows how many others?
WOOZERS SANDY!
What we need to do is give Wahington a huge enema!

...CGI, was not qualified for the job.

Hmmm... CGI, is that Computer Generated Image? No wonder it doesn't work in the real world.

She’ll stall on testifying just like Hillary and then when she finally does will say What difference does it make?

[Steven Tyler]

The 476,000 number is as fake as 0bama’s BC, until someone in the regime shows us the numbers

[jeffc]

Why wouldn’t she testify? Using the F&F debacle and the shutdown “crisis” as examples, Congress won’t do anything but roll over and play dead. Heck, after she testified, they’d probably vote her some $2 billion pork scheme for more ZeroCare.

OdumboCare just another example of the unmidas touch - whatever Odumbo touches turns to Crap!

The mental picture of McCain and McConnell girding their loins is not a good one.

[MuttTheHoople]

What loins?
