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.

I want to hear one question asked. If ObamaCare is so good that Max the Clown found a “better plan”, why the hell did the politicians and unions demand being immune from the punishment of ObamaCare? If it’s as good as these Washington buffoons are saying, why aren’t they demanding to be allowed to enroll in ObamaCare?

Single Payer System = Socialized Medicine.

Let’s all stop using the term ‘Single Payer System’ because low-information-voters don’t know what that means. To them it sounds innocuous (they don’t know what that means either).

Time for us to scratch that dem-invented commie lexicon from our collective vocabularies.

Let’s call it what it is:

SOCIALIZED MEDICINE. SOCIALIZED MEDICINE. SOCIALIZED MEDICINE.

“Do you think a person who was willing to let a little girl die instead of getting her on a transplant list cares if someone has money for food and clothing at the end of the month?”

“How is “FREEDOM OF CHOICE” increased by the Federal Government decreeing that it ALONE has the mandatory authority to force us to buy what we do not want, under penalty of a Federal Fine?”

“Is Obamacare, therefore, in violation of US Anti-Trust Law?”

I disagree with those who say we should focus questions on implementation, security, etc.

That’s what they want us to do. It’s a trap; a smokescreen. In fact, that line of questioning implies tacit approval of the ACA Obamacare Program.

We should be asking them:

Do you believe in SOCIALIZED MEDICINE? If not, WHY NOT?

Let’s keep asking them, over and over!!!

Let them dig their own graves.

This so-called hearing is nothing more than an infomercial for Obamacare. What a waste of time and energy.

It would be better to have a longer time for each Congress member, and to have those GOP congress members coordinate their questions so that they can follow a line of questioning.

If these people didn’t have their staff writing their questions or their remarks they would all be lost.

If Obamacare was VOLUNTARY, would anyone try to sign up for Obamacare?

Given the choice between being locked in a highway truckstop restroom that has a stall containing a trucker with explosive diarrhea, and listening to the dems, I’d choose the truckstop as it would be more eloquent and well spoken...
