Senate Republicans on Wednesday told President Obama’s pick to lead the Health and Human Services Department that they expect the government to recoup millions of dollars in federal grants from states that set up flawed websites under Obamacare.
Sen. Orrin G. Hatch, Utah Republican, put Sylvia Mathews Burwell on notice during her confirmation hearing before the powerful Senate Finance Committee, saying roughly half of the states that opted to set up their own health care exchanges failed to build successful websites and should pay back the money they received from Washington over the next 10 years.
“One of the greatest challenges facing HHS is shoring up the federal and state-based health insurance exchanges,” Mr. Hatch said. “Ensuring that the exchanges are operating efficiently and effectively will be one of your biggest challenges.”

So they want the money back? Are they planning on investigating why these websites failed and who is at fault then holding them accountable? I think that would be a better use of everyones money.
ReplyDeleteAnd the states should be held accountable and pay for their mistakes. And we should hold those responsible for pissing our money away on contracts to contributors and piss poor project management on the states part. Thanks Marty and Anthony
