Rockefeller is not treating her as a witness. He is giving a speech. Admits it — this is not a question but a statement of sadness . . .

I think it unlikely; such a feature would be instantly recognizable and cause more problems than it would be worth.

Just started watching a few minutes ago. Did anyone pull out the blame the Republicans card before Rockefeller just did?

They still don't live in the same real world like the rest of us.

Thanks - still there was an article in breaking about how red states had much higher rates than blue states which may or may not be a coincidence.

Not surprising. I suspect that the per capita income of red states is higher than blue states, as is the willingness to complain about it.

“Did anyone pull out the blame the Republicans card before Rockefeller just did”

Check out Bacus. He was pretty strong that the system should be shut down until it actually (Ahem!) works.

“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....

Sebelius mentioned that they want to invite people back to the website. How can they do that if they are not collecting information? / rhetorical

Rockefeller comes from a long line of entitled scalliwags.

I notice she didn’t mention that at least some open source software code (from what I’ve read it was more than some) was used and the developers removed the copyright info when including in their code (which is a huge no-no). I remember reading that the original developers of the code (I believe they were in the UK) were not at all happy, but not much more was said. If someone in the Bush Admin had done that, the open source community, LSM and others would have been up in arms.

I am not an expert - but Seblius seems to know NOTHING about IT or source codes.

CGI was the company for the IT - is that the one you mean?

Thank you. If she's not bad enough, Patty Osama Mama Murray is our other senator . The only consulation I have is that Dave Reichert (often Pubbie) is my Rep. Thank you for your service!

Same people who did the website must be doing the live broadcast.

She is sounding like she knows what is going on, but I’m skeptical.

Sorry, I don’t recall if it was specifically CGI employees or one of the contractors.

LOL! Though the broadcasting is working much better than the website, so maybe they outsourced the broadcasting ;-)

Bacus and Hatch took her to the wood shed.

How to treat a Senatorial Committee.

Rocky the flying squirrel back on — sounds just like Waxmann did last week.

You are right! Wonder what’s up with that!

It’s a transmitter for her ear wig. She’s being told what to say.

That would also explain her open microphone moment in another hearing when she said “Don’t do this to me!”
