Certainly inadvertently, you called it a mistake. we asked for the creation of it, so we can see who created it, who put the numbers together. it took a staffer 20 minutes to find the error once we got passwords to unlock this it wasnt hard to find. the question is, i will be brief, can you ask your people to the extent it has already been pulled, to the extent we issued a subpoena, it already has been pulled, they knew what we wanted could we have it? we have people on both sides of the dais of...

Commercial. lets do that right now. when we come back we anticipate questions not just of ms. tavenner but the main witness of this hearing, jonathan gruber. back in a moment after this. >> hospital acquired infections decreases ...

Were trying to dance around commercial breaks here at home. be patient with us at your office or on your mobile device. what gruber said in his opening statement, i have a long standing well-documented belief any health care law must include mechanisms for residents in all states to obtain tax credits. that appears to be very issue before the supreme court that will be decided in late spring or early summer. also were waiting on senator dianne feinstein. she will be at the microphone in a moment...

United states senate. the president focused so much on the word coverage and ignored the word care. people have coverage which isnt very useful. they cant meet their deductible, they cant see their doctor, but they have obamacare coverage. its like giving somebody a bus ticket when no bus is coming. the american people knew what they wanted in healthcare reform. they wanted quality, they wanted choice, and they wanted affordability. and they havent gon gotten tha. >> will the hearing change anyt...
