Country anymore at all. its almost depressing, and i hate to use that word on television. but we as americans follow this political fight that is going on in washington. is it damaging the country to the point where we dont believe we can get anything done anymore, including fixing a website? >> of course its sory doik laos, because the real issue is that were going to finally provide health care or make it available to all americans, millions of people who have pre-existing conditions or have n...

End up in this death spiral where young people dont sign up. instead of moving the date they need to scale back what this website is supposed to do. you either change scope or schedule. what we are trying to say you can do everything start to finish one website and one experience. maybe all you should do is enroll and like you apply for a credit card you get your response later but the enrollment has to take place by a certain date. you submit your information and the verification and the things...

Insurance now you have to buy insurance thats more costly and not as good. >> that has to be fixed. >> thats from a democrat, mark. >> imagine the calls to congress on january 1. if you are one of millions of americans who had insurance, saw your insurance cancelled, cant afford to buy it on the individual market because the prices are through the roof and you cant get on the website to buy it. you will call your congressman saying im getting punished? i get a tax penalty for not having insuranc...

That did everything in their power to sabotage this law from the get-go. republicans refuse to authorize requests from the obama administration for additional funding to do it the right way. republican governors across the country have chosen to opt out of medicaid expansion which will leave millions of poor americans uninsured. republicans shut the government down and, of course, they brought us to the brink of default in attempt to defund the law that they hate. were supposed to believe all of...

My job is to report accurately what is going on in the website itself. im sorry, in the law itself. and i think one of the actual places where joan and i disagree, and i think this is actually important is yeah, president obama has this line now that is getting repeated a lot that health care is more than just a website. and sure, it is. but that actually wildly understates what the website is doing. i think this is a bit of misinformation that has gotten out there. if this was about the front e...

Thats when the mandate kicks in. by that date it will be fine. >> mr. mcdonough, your thoughts? >> january 1st is a key date. after january 1st no american can be denied coverage for a pre-existing condition. the sushs difficults kick in. the medicaid expansions go into effect in states that are doing it. its a fundamental change and a very important date coming forward. well get there and get beyond this. >> in the meantime, political opposition has all the ammunition in the world to make the c...

Its true in our society that there are a lot of things that the government loses revenue on, which is essentially like spending, that gives benefits to -- we should acknowledge middle class people but also very rich people and gives no benefit at all to working poor people, and so, yeah, this raises the point that we currently have a health care policy that keeps 40 million people off insurance and thats what we want to change and thats why i really hope that for all these terrible problems that...

Who knows what happens, it doesnt sound like something you know, congressman sessions -- >> it doesnt sound like anything he would say to the president. >> you say even if it had happened, its obligatory the white house would deny it. >> absolutely. remember this, this is a town where you can get up and yell "you lie" at the state of the union and raise $1 million online the next week. its a poisonous atmosphere. that underlies all of this. >> im going to exempt congressman frost since he and co...

People dont sign up. theyre taking advantage. theyre glorifying these computer glitches. theyre trying to scare people. their privacy is going to be impacted. theyre trying to do whatever they can including shutting down the government to make sure that this doesnt work. and this wasnt a legitimate hearing today. thats why i called it a monkey court. they werent trying to fix it. they werent trying to work with the contractors to figure out how to improve it, they just wanted to make people say ...

A delay and thats why weve seen the administration soy is rift is not to delaying not things that are not central to the law like the employer mandate, but things that are central to the law and primarily the individual mandate and without the mandate, it doesnt work. look, the logical thing might have been to say lets put off everything for six months and lets put it off in a year where there was good faith on both sides to get things off and running in a youthful, effective way, i thought what...
