Ms. Tavenner -- head of Medicare and Medicaid enrollment -- is before the House committee investigating the Obamacare disaster. She looks totally ragged and is hoarse of voice; she looks like she has been dragged by horses. Almost totally out of it. Apparently she is the designated scapegoat for Obamacare, and she knows it. The chair is trying to get her to quote a number of people who have enrolled in Obamacare. She says she doesn't know and won't know for a while. She has admitted that many people who seek to enroll have gone onto Medicaid. Chairman Camp is walking down through the questions to try and get Ms. Tavenner to state how many people have signed-up for Obamacare. Ms. Tavenner says she has none of that information. This is painful to watch.
Lewis claims health care is a “Right” - raising his voice and pounding the table.
Many people do not have a Rolex. That is not fair. Everyone should have a Rolex. We need a special tax so people can have a Rolex. Maybe a Corvette too.
1) How many people have you signed up for insurance under the Affordable Care Act?
2) Have you been told to not reveal information about signups, or even received any communication hinting that it would not be desirable that you reveal information? If so, by who?
It could be a Clintonesque statement. She could have very deliberately told her people "I don't want to know the numbers".
The correct question is "Is there anyone in your department, or anyone known to you, who has those numbers, or even has the numbers as of any particular day in the past two weeks? If so, who, and would you please have that person come in?"
They just reduced the 5 min. for asking questions with answers to 3 min.!!! Stupid for the republicans to agree to this time limit!
They should have just limited the dems and their A$$ kissing statements and let the rupubs ask question with no time limits!
Ed Norton up - Bill Pascrell D-NJ
Pascrell - scumbag
He just acted like he was arguing with Gleason!
IMO, watching these Liberal Vermin it like watching Hitler’s Nazi Party defending the Holocaust.
Whacko bird alert!
& this Tavenner hack is an idiot..
The Republicans are wimps.
The House Ways and Means Committee has some very weak Repubs on it!
The GOP are eunuchs; each helping the other look for their gonads with both hands and a mirror and finding NADA!!!

Waterboarding might be effective.
