While President Obama's tech team hunkers down to try fixing the ailing HealthCare.gov website, a cadre of the president's closest advisers are closely following the crisis script -- by hitting the campaign trail.
Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius, instead of testifying at a hearing on Thursday, visited an ObamaCare call center in Phoenix where she also rebuffed Republican calls for her resignation.
"The majority of people calling for me to resign I would say are people who I don't work for, and who do not want this program to work in the first place," she said.
On Friday, Sebelius was visiting San Antonio and Austin.
Republican Texas Sen. John Cornyn questioned why she was there. "If she's still confused about who exactly she works for and if she hasn't come ready to answer questions about why hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars have been wasted on a botched product, she might as well not visit," he said in a statement.
The visits are part of a multi-city tour by White House officials and Cabinet secretaries to "directly reach uninsured Americans." They are hitting up cities with high rates of uninsured, where they will encourage people to sign up.
