A Republican congressman is calling for the federal government to hire a full-time watchdog for ObamaCare, amid ongoing concerns about fraud and mismanagement.
Rep. Peter Roskam, R-Ill., introduced a bill on Thursday that would create a "Special Inspector General for Monitoring the Affordable Care Act (SIGMA)." He told Fox News the position is needed to follow the money.
"There's very specific criteria that the special inspector general is required to produce and follow up on," Roskam told Fox News. "But the point is it needs to be done holistically and in a larger context. It's just a common sense approach to government and oversight."
Similar positions have been created before to oversee the billions spent in Iraq and Afghanistan reconstruction, and the $700 billion financial industry bailout. Experts say billions of taxpayer dollars in fines, penalties and restitution were recovered on behalf of American taxpayers.

Whatever. What they need is a Special Prosecutor to begin Congressional Hearings, Justice Department investigations and ultimately begin impeachment of this lying traiterous bastage.
The Republicans should quit wasting everyone’s time, money, and good health and create the Special Inspector General for Dismantling the Affordable Care Act.
They should put more effort into repealing Obamacare.
Exactly!
Enough of this waste of time money and resources.
Same for Obamacare!
Roskam's district is in my backyard, I can only imagine the HELL his office is catching right now for this stupid idea.
Mitt?
A Republican congressman is calling for the federal government to hire a full-time watchdog for ObamaCare,
Oh, yea — that’s the ticket — asking the federal government to hire a watchdog — the old saying about the fox watching the henhouse comes to mind. No wonder we are fed up with the GOP!
Why bother?
Yeah let’s create another government position costing money to follow the wasted spending on Obamacare. Yes that’s the ticket. /s
Just another attempt to pretend to be against Obamacare, while simultaneously making it easier to keep it alive.
Shut it down. Then investigate those who were supposedly creating, administering and operating this commie farce. Maybe there won’t be enough prisons after the investigations and trials. Have them double- and triple-up in cells.
What a fool.

OMG-—and then we can hire a watchdog to watch the watchdog.
I feel as if I’m in an alternative universe.

Would this guy propose we just watch as cancer grows in the body too?
