Health & Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius testifies on the hill, Wednesday, concerning healthcare.govs problems since its October 1 rollout. Shell answer questions before the House Energy & Commerce Committee.
This is the committees 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.
The questioning by most of the GOP members was pathetic!
This bunch could not get a conviction on Josef Mengele.
Only once did one of them try and get her to agree to go into obammmycare and even then she slithered out of that.
Why did they not call for her resignation after she said she was the one accountable?
It is my understanding that she is scheduled to testify in front of a Senate Committee next week. Anyone know which Committee?

Unless Ted Cruz or Mike Lee are on the committee, it will be another waste of time.
This hearing is a charade. They are all in kahoots.
To your knowledge has a man ever delivered a baby? SHOT OF THE DAY! ROFL

I agree. It would be good to know which Senate Committee and the members.
Thank you for this thread and all the links you posted of those that spoke.
Rep. Ellmers (R-N.C.): “To the best of your knowledge, has a man ever delivered a baby?..... Correct me if Im wrong, do men not have to cover maternity coverage? Were forcing them to buy things that they will never need. To the best of your knowledge has a man ever delivered a baby?

Sebelius Caught Off Mic: ‘Don’t Do This to Me’

I didn't see Pubs making any progress, they looked like fools! Please tell me it improved.
Was the point made that the insurance companies have to cancel these policies to comply with the law? That there has never, ever, been this mass cancellation of policies before?
Did anyone ever chastise her for poo-pooing that this only involves “5% - roughly twelve million people”. That ticked me off so bad. So, twelve million is no big f’n deal, huh?
Wasn't it at the beginning, we needed to help these poor 30Mil uninsured? So now we have to cancel policies on 12Mil like it's no big deal?!
And who cares if most individual policies are only for a short period, what about the millions that have them long term? Maybe it's because individuals have CHOICE! They weren't tied to an employer and could change at will.
Remember Nancy Pelosi famous “now you can pursue your dreams”? Didn't need her to tell me that. I just went to ehealthinsurance.com and bought a policy I liked so I could pursue my dream. Website works like a champ by the way.
Guess Nan was talking about someone else’s dream. PLEASE TELL ME IT GOT BETTER! Also, does anyone know if these mass cancellations will happen to group policies when the employer mandate kicks it? Is that the "big shoe" to drop?
This hearing for the democrats are simply opportunities to make soundbites for themselves or soundbites to attack republicans for 2014.....so them lying is part of the agenda...and actually answering a question honestly does not fit that need....
And he spake this parable unto certain which trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and despised others:
10 Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, and the other a publican.
11 The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank thee, that I am not as other men are, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican.
