For Health And Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius, The Buck Stops At Anywhere But Her
HHS SECRETARY SEBELIUS WILL DENY ACCOUNTABILITY FOR OBAMACARE’S ROCKY LAUNCH
Before Congress Today, HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius Will Try To Deflect Blame Onto Contractors For ObamaCare’s Disastrous Rollout. “Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius will tell a House committee tomorrow the site’s botched rollout was the result of contractors failing to live up to expectations – not bad management at HHS, as the contractors suggested. Sebelius blames a ‘subset’ of contractors who ‘have not met expectations’ for the website’s problems in an opening statement she’ll deliver Wednesday to the House Energy and Commerce Committee.” (Jonathan Easley, “Sebelius Blames Contractors For ObamaCare Problems,” The Hill’s Health Watch , 10/29/13)
- Sebelius’s Testimony Comes Just Days After She Said The “Majority Of People Calling For [Her] To Resign” Are People She Doesn’t “Work For.”“Sebelius, the Obama administration’s public point person on implementation of the new health care law, was in Phoenix amid calls for her resignation over the technical issues that have prevented people from signing up for coverage online. ‘The majority of people calling for me to resign I would say are people who I don’t work for and do not want this program to work in the first place,’ Sebelius said during a visit to the Wesley Health Center.” (Terry Tang, “Sebelius In Phoenix Amid Calls For Her Resignation,” The Associated Press, 10/25/13)
As Sebelius Shifts Blame Onto Contractors, She Won’t Offer Anything New Regarding The Problems That Have Afflicted ObamaCare
Secretary Sebelius “Will Read Almost Exactly The Same Testimony To Congress … As Another Top Obama Administration Official Offered Tuesday.” “HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius will read almost exactly the same testimony to Congress Wednesday about the fumbled HealthCare.gov launch as another top Obama administration official offered Tuesday.” (Paige Winfield Cunningham, “Kathleen Sebelius Testimony More Of The Same,”Politico, 10/29/13)
- Sebelius’s Prepared Testimony “Matches Nearly Word-For-Word Testimony Delivered By CMS Administrator Marilyn Tavenner.” “Sebelius’s eight pages of prepared testimony for the House Energy and Commerce Committee matches nearly word-for-word testimony delivered by CMS Administrator Marilyn Tavenner to Ways and Means on Tuesday.” (Paige Winfield Cunningham, “Kathleen Sebelius Testimony More Of The Same,” Politico, 10/29/13)
