Live Thread: HHS Secretary Testifies on HealthCare.gov Enrollment Issues
http://www.c-span.org/ ^ | 10.30.13 | C-span

Posted on 10/30/2013 6:17:22 AM PDT by Whenifhow

Health & Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius testifies on the hill, Wednesday, concerning healthcare.gov’s problems since its October 1 rollout. She’ll answer questions before the House Energy & Commerce Committee.

This is the committee’s second hearing related to the website problems. Last week, four government contractors hired to help build the site testified. Tuesday, Marilyn Tavener, Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) Administrator, appeared before the Ways & Means Committee.

CMS is responsible for setting up the federal marketplace for insurance exchanges and the Medicaid expansion. Rep. Fred Upton chairs the committee and Rep. Henry Waxman serves as Ranking Member.

Dems make speeches; GOP’s ask questions that skirt around the issues.

Where are these Dems getting enrollment numbers if they can’t be released because they aren’t reliable?

Sebelius is talking about the state exchanges working —Alaska stopped theirs until it works.

Can’t we stop the whole thing until it works?

Agree. Its so obvious what topics make Sebelius nervous that you would think Republicans would hone in on them and keep the pressure on. For example, the enrollee count and the failure to conduct system testing. But the Pubbies are mostly a bunch of losers.

I've just about had enough of this beltway spin, dodging, lies and pure bullshit.

I'm about ready to turn it off now, right afterward head to the W.C. to vomit. That obfuscating communist being "grilled" makes me sick to my stomach.

Yes - and nobody is asking those kinds of questions. It’s only “is the website secure?” It’s like they only care about buying a book of the Amazon site or something.

Right it is all a sales job on the vaporware — that is the idea of what the system is supposed to do — NOT what is working. SHEESH!

And, STILL no one is challenging the underlying impropriety of having FedGov even involve themselves in this component of the economy. NO ONE is raising the bottom line issue that this exercise is ANTI-CONSTITUTIONAL.

Where is the real CONSERVATIVE Voice on this one?

The two areas they really need to focus on are the high jump in costs for people kicked off of their “sub-standard” plans, and the rationale for forcing people to have levels of coverage they have no use for.

Put another way, why would you collect data that you knew could be unreliable? What kind of system would do that?

There is no way they don’t have the numbers. Its just that the numbers don’t paint Obamacare as a big success. To the contrary, they show that nobody wants it. And that’s a narrative that they cannot allow to spread.
