The Obamacare Website - Broken and Can't be Fixed

Floor Speech

Date: Oct. 23, 2013
Location: Washington, DC
Issues: Technology and Communication Health Insurance

Mr. JOHNSON of Ohio. Mr. Speaker, if you go into a restaurant and you order two eggs over medium with sausage and toast and if the server brings you two eggs scrambled with bacon and a muffin, you have got two choices. You either eat what you have got or you send it back, and you start over--double the cost, double the time.

Mr. Speaker, that is exactly what has happened with Healthcare.gov, the ObamaCare Web site. It doesn't work. These are not glitches. It is broken and it can't be fixed.

The President needs to own up to this. He needs to reimburse the American people for the over-$400 million that has been spent; he needs to hold those in his administration accountable who misled him and the American people; and he needs to give the American people a break on this individual mandate until the Web site does work.
