Sessions Asks: What Did Sebelius Know About Health Program's Unsustainable Cost?

Statement

"Recently obtained emails show that throughout the healthcare debate there was substantial concern expressed by HHS and CMS officials over the CLASS program's unsustainability. This raises a very serious question as to whether a deliberate effort was made by administration officials to conceal CLASS' true cost in order to advance the president's agenda. Accountability goes to the top. Lawmakers and the American people deserve to know when internal concerns over CLASS were first communicated to Secretary Sebelius and what, if any, actions she took to address them. Out of control government spending is threatening our nation's future, making a prompt and thorough explanation all the more imperative. Accountability requires that top government officials be open, candid, and honest in their representations about these important issues. Serious questions have arisen that reflect poorly on our leaders."
