President Obama held an event at the White House Monday to talk about the problems with the websites linked to his signature legislation, the Affordable Care Act, or Obamacare.
The President said the problems with the healthcare.gov website are “unacceptable” and pledged to take whatever steps were necessary to correct the website problems.
“There’s no sugarcoating it,” the President said. “The website has been too slow. People have been getting stuck during the application process. And I think it’s far to say that nobody is more frustrated by that than I am.”
Congress has been investigating the problems with the launch of Obamacare but have been struggling to get Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius to appear. According to a Reuters report, the Secretary finally agreed to meet with the House Energy and Commerce Committee next Wednesday.
“Americans didn’t get any answers from the president today,” House Speaker John Boehner said, “but the House’s oversight of this failure is just beginning.”
