What is going on with these hearings?

Are Republicans now fighting for the poor to get insurance? The same people that shut down the government and wasted 24billion dollars to stop The Affordable Care Act are now investigating why the Roll out is failing to deliver insurance to the poor?

It just doesn't stop, does it?

Not really, it just sucks to watch so many people suffer through red state shenanigans. Maybe I'll just move a little ways over to Issa land to vote against him.

You know? People don't really trust politicians. So if they're saying its bad, it must be good. Their continued insistence of not insuring the poor might just drive more people to sign up.

"We told officials at CMS the site wasn't ready, and it was their decision to go ahead."

I don't disagree with going ahead, but the Administration should have come out beforehand and said the system is not ready for prime-time, but it is going on-line.

It's all just political theater. The GOP Clowngressmen are just wasting more taxpayer money. They are the party of fiscal irresponsibility. They suck on every level.
