OBAMACARE
(Mr. PITTENGER asked and was given permission to address the House
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
Mr. PITTENGER. Mr. Speaker, much attention has been focused recently
on the flawed rollout of ObamaCare. Sadly, a potential bigger problem
has now emerged.
Once consumers battle their way through the glitchy Web site, much of
the highly sensitive personal information sent to the insurers is
wrong. According to The Washington Post and Wall Street Journal, the
ObamaCare Web site is sending garbled data to insurers, claiming, for
example, that some enrollees have three spouses or that someone has
signed up for three separate insurance plans or has enrolled and then
unenrolled and then reenrolled multiple times in one day. In short, you
could fight your way through the Web site, fill out all the forms
correctly, and end up with the wrong insurance, the wrong subsidy, and
the wrong coverage.
Now is the time to end this madness. The individual mandate must be
delayed by a year, and President Obama and Senator Reid must be willing
to sit down with Republicans and discuss real reforms to what is
quickly becoming a national disaster.
