CSPAN ^ | November 6, 2013

Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius testifies before the Senate Finance Committee on the federal insurance exchange website and other issues related to the Affordable Care Act.

Her testimony comes exactly one week after she appeared before the House Energy and Commerce Committee where she apologized to the public for what she called the "debacle." Secretary Sebelius and other administration officials have said that problems with the healthcare.gov website will be fixed by the end of this month.

During her testimony today, she talks about the progress being made in that effort. Sen. Max Baucus (D-MT) chairs the committee while Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-UT) serves as the ranking member.

Another day - another pack of lies. Begins at ten o'clock.

THE PENALTY IS A TAX. Therefore, delaying it must be scored by the Budget Office, RIGHT, Director???

Only when congress arrests and removes these people from power will things change. We know that will never happen!

Contempt of Congress is the act of obstructing the work of the United States Congress or one of its committees. Historically, the bribery of a senator or representative was considered contempt of Congress. In modern times, contempt of Congress has generally applied to the refusal to comply with a subpoena issued by a Congressional committee or subcommittee — usually seeking to compel either testimony or the production of documents.

None of her "inquisitors" (i.e. ENABLERS) is even
under the monstrosity. Nor their staff.
Nor their families. Nor their union bosses.

Testifies? More like “Testylies”. She is belligerent and lies. We get nothing else from the bitch.

[AMDG&BVMH]

“We get nothing else:

lies under oath = perjury = impeachable offense

hope someone is taking good notes

[Las Vegas Dave]

How do we know when Kathleen Sebelius is lying??

Her lips are moving..!

[Red_Devil 232]

I wonder if the Senate will put her under oath like the House did.

Didn’t Baucus call Obamacare a train wreck? Sounds like he’s now got his mind right.

[Whenifhow]

Baucus is the one who called it a train wreck.

For all the “success” stories of enrollment it seems the number is higher than “six”.
