Congressional Republicans Investigating Obamacare Enrollment Site Glitches

Rollout didn't go as planned

|

House and Senate Republicans are investigating the glitch-ridden rollout of ObamaCare after administration officials downplayed technology flaws with the federal health overhaul website.

House Oversight Committee Chairman Darrell Issa, R-Calif., and Sen. Lamar Alexander, R-Tenn., sent a letter Thursday to Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius demanding answers to a series of questions about the technical failures.

The lawmakers are seeking details on the number of people who have successfully enrolled in the health insurance exchanges and information about all of the technical problems that have prevented enrollment and the cost of fixing those problems, according to a news release.
