Sebelius Refuses To Answer If Keep-Your-Plan Promise Was True Or False

SEN. JOHN CORNYN: Madame Secretary, in December 2009, the Quinnipiac poll said that 88% of Americans were satisfied with their current health insurance plan. Which is why the president, no doubt, made the promise that he made, and as you can see, as of yesterday afternoon, the White House website says, "if you lik your plan, you can keep it, you don't have to change a thing due to the law." We know that lying to Congress is a crime. But unfortunately, lying to the American people is not. I'd just like to ask you a simple true-or-false question: Is that statement on the White House website true or is it false?

KATHLEEN SEBELIUS: Sir, I think the statement--

CORNYN: Is it true? Or is it false Madame Secretary?

SEBELIUS: --that you can keep your plan... The vast majority of Americn citizens who are insured are in the employer market or in public plans or in veterans plans. Those plans have stayed in place, and continue to offer benefits. The 11 million people who are in the individual market, a majority of those individuals will keep plans that now will have stronger coverage, and others will have to choose if they have a brand new plan and not a grandfather...

Sebelius: Obamacare Navigators Don't Need Criminal Background Checks

SEN. JOHN CORNYN (R-TX): So I want to ask you about the navigators. The president is in Dallas, Texas today, touting the navigator program, which, as you know, are people who are hired to help people navigate the Affordable Care Act. But I would just like to ask you this question, if you would answer it: Isn't it true that there is no federal requirement for navigators to undergo a criminal background check, even though they will receive personal -- sensitive personal -- information from the individuals they help to sign-up for the Affordable Care Act?

KATHLEEN SEBELIUS: That is true. States could add an additional background checks and other features, but it is not part of the federal requirement.

CORNYN: So a convicted felon could be a navigator and could acquire sensitive personal information from an individual unbeknownst to them?

SEBELIUS: That is possible.

(Does she mean someone like malodery could be hired as a "navigator"???  What kind of whore's nightmare is this?)

Mally never seems to chime in on these factual revelations.

Where was Senator Cornyn when this bill was being debated?  Had he proposed this as an amendment, I believe it could have passed.   Who would oppose it?

But the Republicans devoted all their time in trying to kill it or make it unworkable.

The greater nightmare is that some of you could be a "navigator" if any of you could pass the tests.

Msmal, you ask where was Sen Cornyn when the bill was being debated - that answer is v ery simple. The dems cooked up the bill behind closed doors with guards outside and then passed it in the middle of the night after using strong arm tactics on reluctant dems. Not one Repuiblican voted for the bill nor did one democrat vote against it.
