Hearing About Obamacare Disaster Grows Typically Partisan

Inter-party sniping dominated the first several stages of the hearing as Republicans and Democrats each sought the ethical high ground on the healthcare law.

The lawmakers' statements highlight the relentlessly political nature of debates over the Affordable Care Act, particularly as the rollout's failures lead both sides to seek blame.
