“The O’Malley/Brown administration thinks they can jump from one quick fix solution to another and assume the General Assembly is too busy to look closely. Everyday there is another example that Maryland’s government is too inefficient to handle healthcare let alone the rollout of it,” George stated. “Providing health insurance for all Maryland citizens is too critical an issue to not give the full attention of a special counsel who can give the people answers they deserve.”
“There are many legal issues which need to be addressed and straightened out and no Senate or House Committee has the time with so many issues coming before the legislature over the next 80 days," said Delegate George.
Issues of particular concern include:
Why are the Governor's office, DHMH and Secretary Sharfstein not releasing a 1,000+ page federal audit of the Maryland health care rollout? Instead, they have only released a brief summary to the Senate finance committee despite their emergency bill being on 2nd reading tonight.
Did O'Malley and Brown knowingly continue the rollout despite several key problems and concerns highlighted in this federal audit?
Were insurance companies guaranteed a bailout in exchange for their support of the new marketplace?
At what point do we let insurers back-order claims?
Did the procurement process give privileges or special consideration to particular companies and were these companies contributors to campaigns or party committees?

Oh, that will further reduce costs...NOT.
Hey, how about we spend that money on fighting Obamacare and stopping it?
