In what parallel universe?
Via Noah Rothman:
A tense exchange erupted during a congressional hearing into the problems associated the Affordable Care Act’s online insurance exchanges. Rep. Michael Burgess (R-TX) probed Health and Human Services Sec. Kathleen Sebelius over whether the ACA’s payment and enrollment systems are functioning, given reports which indicate they are not. He let out a heavy sigh when Sebelius insisted that “The [Federally-Facilitated Marketplace] hub has worked beautifully from start to finish.”
Burgess quizzed Sebelius about a private accountability report she commissioned six months prior to the website’s launch which indicated that the ACA exchanges website was going to experience a number of problems when it went live. He insisted that Sebelius was not being honest when she testified last month that the website’s issues were a surprise.
May I submit they were actually accurate in that assignment,” Burgess said of the report’s warnings.
“The hub has worked beautifully from start to finish,” Sebelius replied.
