Witt. We have new reaction from both signups happen really before the deadline on march 31st of 2014. Sides of the aisle to the obama care website problems just days very quickly here, a lot of ahead of a crucial congressional hearing on the matter. Reporting lately about the higher than expected prices for heres meet the press. Some of the new insurance plans, particularly in the rural areas. The things not working on a prices that were seeing, is it federal level yet, but its what you expected . Going to. You know, the advice i would you know, overall the prices give the news media and critics that were seeing across the up here is take a deep breath. Board have come in lower than you know, this is a process. Expected. Again, the fact that people now everybody wants to have a date have Financial Assistance for the first time to purchase these where they can declare victory or defeat or success or failure. New options is a huge relief to thats not what this is going to be all about. Many people who have been i think people need to sit waiting for years for this opportunity. Okay. Thank you for being brief there. Down. The Obama Administration needs i appreciate that. To open itself up and figure out jessica barbara brown, thank you. Thank you. How we can get bipartisan the controversy surrounding the u. S. Drone program. A new report says the strikes support to move forward. Are not so surgical. Wed figure out whats good, whats bad, how do we fwix it. The problem is in washington. They talk past one another and hey lady are so polarized they cant get noooo anything done. No health and Human Services [ tires screech ] secretary Kathleen Sebelius will nooo nooo testify before the house energy nooo and Commerce Committee on wednesday. Hey lady, thats diesel sebelius has come under intense scrutiny as the obama i know. Administration works to fix the website glitches. Many republican lawmakers have called for her to resign. The president has been poorly served in the implementation of his own signature legislation. So if somebody doesnt leave, and if there isnt a real woman everyone in the nicu restructuring, not just a 60day somebody come in and try to fix all the nurses wanted to watch him it, then hes missing the point when he was there 118 days. Of management 101, which is these people are to serve him well and they havent. Joining me now, democratic everything that you thought was important to you congresswoman Eleanor Holmes norton, member of the oversight changes in light of having a child and government reform committee. Maam, nice to see you. Welcome. Thank you. That needs you every moment. So chairman issa there, do you agree with what he has to say . Does someone have to go . Well, if someone has to go, a close second is the secretary. Perhaps some of the contractors should go. Theyve done an important thing. They brought in a master i wouldnt trade him for the world. Contractor to coordinate these who matters most to you says the most about you. Matters. I wonder why they didnt have at massmutual were owned by our policyowners, one before. But we cant let the bad news and they matter most to us. About the website overwhelm the if youre caring for a child with special needs, good news about Health Care Benefits for 48 Million People our innovative special care program who either had none or had offers strategies that can help. Unaffordable or inadequate plans. Okay. So i take it that you agree with the governor of kentucky whom we heard a sound bite from on meet the press. He said, we just have to relax, take a deep breath. Or do you have significant questions about the rollout . I do. I think its fair game for the congress to weigh in to see whats happening here. Understand that so far youve heard from a committee whose members almost uniformly opposed any Health Care Reform at all. You got to have people fix it who at least believe in what were doing. I think that with this november 30th fix date, which is really interesting because given whats gone wrong so far for jeff zeitz to come out and say hes mr. Fixer, that its going to be fixed by november 30th must mean he sees the problem, knows how it can be fixed. Im leaving it to people in the administration who know how to find who didnt do what they because an empty pan is a blank canvas. Were supposed to do and have found somebody who knows what to do now. Okay. [ woman 2 ] to share a moment. As you see him saying clearly it appears he does know what the [ man 1 ] to remember my grandmother. Problem is since he has given that date, as you say. [ woman 3 ] to show my love. But chairman issa continues to subpoena hhs for documents about [ woman 4 ] because life needs flavor. This website. All the contractors who have worked on it. [ woman 5 ] to travel the World Without leaving home. How far do you think the investigation should go . [ male announcer ] whatever the reason. Whatever the dish. Well, when the house is make it delicious with swanson. [ woman 1 ] thats why i cook. Controlled by republicans, and im on chairman issas committee, hes obviously going to look for culprits here. Thats what that committee does. I dont think hes going to find the healthcare rocky it in the underlying plan. Rollout. A live report on the heated thats what bothers me. Debate getting even hotter. I think what we ought to be also ahead, getting to know you. Doing is Building Confidence in why is new Airport Security what has not lost confidence. Screening beginning long before you get to the airport . That is the plan itself. We dont want what has happened with the website to step on the nobodys going to make it on good news about the plan. Im afraid if we dont build my property. As it stands right now, youre confidence and focus on that, we not coming here, so dont even try. Okay. Will have real issues. Booby traps and bunkers. We know that we dont have real survivalists prepare for the worst, but what are they issues now because people crowded to get on to the website. So we know people are excited preparing for . About doing that. We want to frankly keep that up. The way to keep that up, and i hey there, everyone. Dont know why they didnt have welcome to weekends with alex the 800number as a backup before or even paper to be witt. Heres whats happening out there. We have some new comments today oldschool about it, but now from key lawmakers on the latest that they have it and now that problems hampering the its reported that you can healthcare. Gov website. Call i mean, somebody called just before i came here and said heres republican congressman they could get on. Daryl issa and janeen shaheen. I do want to leave you with one the president has been poorly thing thats very important. Served in the implementation of Bloomberg News cited four his own signature legislation. If somebody doesnt leave, and jurisdictions that had smooth if there isnt a real rollouts. One of them is the jurisdiction restructuring, not just a 60day somebody come in and try to fix that all of the members of congress and their staff are it, then hes missing the point of management 101, which is these people are to serve him going to go on, on january the well, and they havent. 1st. Theres going to be plenty of unlike any other group who has time to place blame on who was an employer who funds them or responsible for whether it should have worked on day one or who has a website sorry, who didnt work or whatever. But right now everybodys goal has insurance, members of congress were told they have to should be lets get this go on to a site like everybody working, lets make sure people can get the health care they else. Smooth rollout with d. C. Health want and need. Health and Human Services link. And thats going to be a real secretary Kathleen Sebelius is scheduled to testify before the test. One of the four jurisdictions that got it right. House energy and Commerce Committee on wednesday. Im curious, though, when you also wednesday, president obama were talking about some of the heads to boston to speak about issues. Health care and the experience so are you disappointed, are you there in massachusetts. Of course, that state passed its surprised by how this rollout Bipartisan Health care law back came about . In 2006. And do you think the president holds any responsibility for it . Nbcs Kristen Welker is at the white house for us with a good well, i am disappointed. Sunday to you, kristen. You wont find a member of healthcare. Gov, hot topic on the congress whos not disappointed. Sunday morning shows today. What are you hearing . The extent of the problem surprised me somewhat. Reporter oh, absolutely it i am never surprised when there was. Ive been speaking to administration officials. Are multiple glitches online. They continue to say that tech i really am not. Experts are working 24 7 to try we see that. To fix those website glitches. Even your Social Security number can result in a massive glitch from the private sector. They continue to say that november, the end of november is the deadline for getting those the responsibility the president glitches fixed. Always has to take, and hes so theyre dealing with that taken it. When is the last time you saw a issue on one front. Another issue thats emerging president go on the air to talk today, alex, is the fact that a number of americans are getting about fixes in a website . Letters like this from their thats taking responsibility. Thats taking responsibility. Insurance companies basically what about information . Saying their coverage is going to be canceled because they the white house has given very little of it to the public about dont immediate federal the number of people who have guidelines. In this case, this person received a letter saying that enrolled on the federal exchange. Theyve been pretty forthcoming this coverage would be to you and your colleagues in automatically transferred, but this persons premiums are going congress. Have they or not . To go up a little bit. Some people will have to find to tell you the truth, new coverage. So as you can imagine, this is theres very little information, adding to the debate about the i think, that they have. But let me tell you why it would president s new Health Care Law. That was something that was a have been very misleading to heated topic of discussion tell us, quote, how many people earlier today between one of the have been enrolled. People who really helped to people have been shopping around implement this policy, dr. For Health Insurances theyve Ezekiel Emanuel and john never had to do before. That would be silly to start flemming. Enrolling immediately. Take a listen. Millions of americans have if we look at the only lost have had their insurance canceled. Experience we have in those insurance plans are not massachusetts, in the first worth the paper theyre written three months they had six people 6 , sorry, 6 of the on. Many of them thats absurd, doctor. People signing up within by many of them exclude key things that that is totally false. We would not allow are you the ti going to allow me to finish . By the time the fines came in, they had gotten past 90 . Youre doing all the talking. All right. Were looking ahead then. Eleanor holmes norton, nice to filibustering is not going to win your argument. We would not allow unsafe see you. Thanks so much. My pleasure. Coming up for you at the cars without seat belts, without bottom of the hour, ill be air bags on the roads. Speaking with former new mexico governor bill richardson. Similarly, we should not allow health plans out there that are well ask him about the health really not health plans. Care rollout, a new report on reporter now, according to the latest hhs blog, as many as iran and the president s mideast policy. And the other big story coming from washington and still 700,000 americans have applied reverberating around the globe today, some new details about for applications on allegations the u. S. Spied on healthcare. Gov. Some key World Leaders and a thats not the same thing as actually enrolling. Fresh report that the nsa spied the Administration Says they will have the latest enrollment on this lady, german chancellor figures by the middle of angela merkel, since 2002. November. But this administration nbcs Kristen Welker is tat the continues to really be in damage control mode, alex. I can tell you that in the coming days and weeks, top white house. Okay. This is tough. Officials, including cabinet theres been a lot of talk about this. What are you hearing . Secretaries, are going to be reporter youre right, alex. Crisscrossing the country, visiting the cities where you it is tough. It is something that is a see the highest level of diplomatic problem for the uninsured americans talking to United States. Were already seeing that start people about how to sign up. To play out. Germany, france demanding president obama, as you reported at the top of the show, is also answers. Steve clements of the atlantic going to be engaged in that effort. Hell be in boston on wednesday. Framed it well. Secretary sebelius will be he said theres now doubt today that the United States is the testifying before a Congressional Committee on kind of ally it used to be. Wednesday. She will face some tough weve seen some of the questions, particularly from repercussio republicans, many still determined to derail the repercussions. President s Health Care Law. President obama called chancellor merkel this past week alex . Its interesting. To apologize. Secretary kerry was abroad in yesterday dr. Emanuel was talking with me on the air. Europe, wanted to focus on he was talking about some of the middle east peace. Examples and the reasons for instead, these latest which some of these plans are revelations and allegations substandard. Some things as basic for a overshadowed some of those discussions. Woman, not offering pregnancy, he wound up reassuring allies labor and delivery coverage. Instead of talking about things those are the kinds of insurance like iran and syria. Policies he said needs to be we also know that german canceled. Lets be clear because the officials are heading to the president may be taking a bit of United States in just a few weeks to talk to u. S. Officials heat for this because he said, as you know, if you want to keep about these latest revelations. As you pointed out, alex, this was a big topic of discussion on your Health Care Plan, you will be able to under the aca. All the sunday shows. Reporter absolutely. Thats one of the reasons why heres what the chairman of the House Intelligence Committee mike rodgers had to say. This has been such a divisive take a listen. If it wasnt french citizens issue, the fact these letters and it was a counterterrorism are going out. Your point absolutely program, maybe we should stop and go, hmm, maybe theres underscores what dr. Emanuel has said, which is that these plans something more to that. I would argue, by the way, if dont offer basic coverage like the french citizens knew exactly maternity services. What that was about, they would that is why these plans are be applauding and popping champagne corks. Either being transferred to its a good thing. Other plans automatically, which it keeps the french safe. Is happening in this case, or it keeps the u. S. Safe. It keeps our european allies folks are being asked to look for coverage that does meet the safe. Reporter we should point new federal standards. Out, alex, spying is something that has happened for decades, lots of is to dot and ts to both with the u. S. And its cross. Thank you, kristen. Allies, but what is new are joining me now, eleanor clift, these revelations. And staff writer for the hill, its a divisive issue. Elise. You saw thousands of people good to see you both. Eleanor, ill begin with you. Protesting the United States how big of a distraction have Surveillance Program here in these website problems been for washington just yesterday, saying they want the united the president in terms of states to stop spying. So questions remain, implementing his health care particularly around the issues law . Has it really been the of whether or not there is overriding issue . Oh, its a huge distraction enough oversight over these Surveillance Programs and the because its coming really on conversation certainly will continue. The heels of the government alex . Indeed it will. Thank you very much, kristen shutdown, which demolished the Republican Partys poll ratings. Welker.

Gop because they can now refocus the storm made landfall in new on what they see as the jersey a year ago today. It claimed more than 180 lives and can be blamed for 65 billion in damage. One new sign that things are getting back to normal, ellis incompetence of the website. Island will reopen tomorrow i think its a big public after it was badly damaged in relations problem, and there are the storm. Some substantive issues here as nbc meteorologist dylan dr drey well.

There is still a lot that needs to be done to get these november. Communities back up and running. Its an important assurance, if they can deliver on it.
