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???

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.

How do we know when Kathleen Sebelius is lying??

Her lips are moving..!

Thanks for this live thread and putting it in breaking news.

Period!

Sibelius, still selling it. No accountability, let’s just move on. The same players getting by with lies, making the same mistakes, hiding the truth, over and over and over.

[halfright]

I did miss the witness being sworn in ???!!!

[TomGuy]

Response to question about ‘punch list’.

Sebelius seems to have been reading ‘Websites for Dummies’ in her response, which is muddled and convoluted — because she has no idea what the real status of the website is.

[originalbuckeye]

I expect NOTHING from this hearing. No oath, run by the Dems, who have a vested interest in rehabilitating Sebelius. The Pubbie Senators are neutered by their idea of comity being more important among the Senators than getting the truth. They all like to see themselves as that ‘cooling saucer’ after the House boils over. Dog and pony show, yes. Gag me.

[windsorknot]

Sebelius should be forced to eat the ACA, every last page of it.

This website investigation is a waste of time. The site will eventually be fixed. The real questions that should be asked are:
Why are so many already experiencing obscene increases in their insurance policies?:
Why are so many companies cancelling long-standing policies?:
Why are so many companies cutting back on full-time employment?:
Why are so many Doctors retiring and/or refusing to take new patients?:
And even though she is just an administrator, she should be asked why not ONE Republican voted for this "debacle", and why was it passed in the middle of the night behind closed doors?

Those are the questions that should be asked...

DemocratCare
Not one Republican voted to implement a system that they knew would eventually destroy our Health Care System. And yes, the Republicans in the House HAVE submitted better fixes.

Michelle Malkin weighed in a few days ago:

The thuggery of Obamacare Czarina Kathleen Sebelius

The thuggery of Obamacare Czarina Kathleen Sebelius by Michelle Malkin Creators Syndicate Copyright 2013 U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services Kathleen Sebelius is allergic to the truth. She is the ruthless enforcer of Obamacare’s Jenga tower of lies upon lies upon lies. Now that this fatally flawed government edifice is collapsing, you can expect Sebelius to do what she has done her entire career: blame, bully and pile on more lies. Three years ago, when insurers and other companies had the audacity to expose Obamacare’s damage to their customers and workers, Sebelius brought out her brass knuckles. Remember? As I reported at the time, the White House coordinated a demonization campaign against Anthem Blue Cross in California for raising rates because of the new mandate’s costs. Obama singled out the company in a “60 Minutes” interview, and Sebelius sent a nasty-gram demanding that Anthem “justify” its rate hikes to the federal government. A private company trying to survive in the marketplace was forced to “explain” itself to federal bureaucrats and career politicians who have never run a business (successful or otherwise) in their lives. Sebelius went even further. She called on Anthem to provide public disclosure of how the rate increases would be spent — a mandate that no other private companies must follow. In an even more heavy-handed effort to suppress criticism, Sebelius wrote America’s Health Insurance Plans (AHIP), the national association of health insurers, “calling on their members to stop using scare tactics and misinformation to falsely blame premium increases for 2011 on the patient protections in the Affordable Care Act.” The threatening cease-and-desist letter commanded: “I urge you to inform your members that there will be zero tolerance for this type of misinformation and unjustified rate increases. … Simply stated, we will not stand idly by as insurers blame their premium hikes and increased profits on the requirement that they provide consumers with basic protections.”

1) Does anyone else see the resemblance between Sebilius and Cruella Deville?

2) How is Johnny Isakson talking with Saxby Chambliss in the room?

“I quit my full time job 2 years ago because from 2008-2011 my premiums continued to skyrocket. Until 86% of my paycheck went to health insurance. So, I quit. Now, I have no ins. My husband just got his letter that his plan was no longer available. His new ins will be 122% higher. If he covered me as well, he wouldn’t get a paycheck. We cannot afford ANY of this. We’re on the verge of losing our home. And now we’ll be penalized because we can’t afford any of this? I’m really at the point where I don’t want to be an American anymore.” - Healthcare.gov on Facebook poster....

[VerySadAmerican]

Ms. Sebelius, if I asked you if wanted a cup of coffee and you said “No”, then I asked “How about some coffee with sugar?” and you said “NO”, then I asked “Would you like some coffee if I put cream in it” and you said “No, I don’t want any coffee. Period.” What would you mean by that?
