Two top Obamacare officials, including the person who has been called one of the law's architects, have refused to testify before Congress next week.
During a House Oversight and Government Reform Committee hearing on Wednesday, Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) said the committee asked Nancy-Ann DeParle and Jeanne Lambrew to testify before the committee. He said the "letter we got back next week was, 'they're not gonna come.'"
DeParle, who has since left the Obama administration, formerly directed the White House Office of Health Reform and has been called one of Obamacare's architects. Lambrew has been the White House's Deputy Assistant for Health Policy since 2011.
Jordan said
nothing in Obamacare instructed that the health insurance exchanges had to open
on October 1, and DeParle and Lambrew "are the ones who are ultimately
responsible for putting at risk" the personal information of Americans
because the website was launched on that date even though it was nowhere near
ready.....This Appeared Here....
My Take – Somewhere
along the way I came away with the view – which apparently must be a delusional
view - that response to a subpoena was mandatory. Perhaps they merely requested her presence? Either way I keep asking....what’s the next
step? Demand the Attorney General act on
this? That would be interesting. Somewhere along the line someone is going to
have to testify under oath. I
know.....appoint a special prosecutor.
Oh, wait....I forgot..... when it was used to go after Clinton they made
it abundantly clear that the special prosecutor’s office was no longer doing
what it was designed for. Get
Republicans!
