White House works to flip Obamacare narrative

The article White House works to flip Obamacare narrative is another one of the many articles that have come out over the last few weeks discussing "Obamacare" and the problems it is causing between the two major parties in government.

This article specifically discusses the "glitchy health care enrollment site" and how the Republicans are arguing that the major problems with it are because the Democrats were "slow to release relevant data" to several of the contractors.  The Republicans are also complaining about the secrecy of many aspects of "Obamacare" so to counter this secrecy the Republicans are calling for "weekly reports on the exchanges".  The last complaint many Republicans are bringing up is about the White House telling "contractors one month before HealthCare.gov went up to make consumers register before they see prices", doing so is causing poor customer experience because consumers don't like the "idea of getting through the clunky registration process before seeing prices".

All of these problems that are being brought up are causing Congressional Hearings to be held with the first of them being held Thursday by The House Energy and Commerce Committee.  This hearing is shaping up to be a full on assault on the Obama Administration by the tech companies since they have already come out to the Oversight committee discussing the delayed release of important information and data such as The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services not handing over the final technical requirements until May which immensely slowed down the process and in some cases a third of the required work had to be redone which is not only unfair to the contractors but also makes it apear as if The Democrats and The Obama Administration are as Florida Senator Marco Rubio said "withholding information so that people won’t see the “ugly things” of the law".
