House oversight panel probes health website woes

WASHINGTON (AP) — Probing whether the White House shares blame for health care website woes, the House’s chief investigator today plunged into the technical issues behind the dysfunctional rollout of HealthCare.gov. Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif., chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, is exploring a long list of issues: insufficient testing, possible security flaws, design shortcomings – even allegations of political meddling. It was the sixth major congressional hearing since President Barack Obama’s computerized insurance markets went live Oct. 1 and millions of consumers encountered frozen screens.
