Transcript Intro From ‘Fox News Insider’
It's a system that's supposed to be used by everybody, so that ObamaCare can be bought by anybody. But so far, the health care website has worked for practically nobody. Welcome to the Land of Oz!
And now, we find out the people who are supposed to guide us through the ObamaCare maze and enter our private data - Social Security numbers, date of birth and personal identifiable information - the ObamaCare "navigators,” don't even go through basic background or fingerprint checks.
But it gets better, ladies and gentlemen. If those navigators have a prior conviction, it will not disqualify them, anyway. An outstanding warrant? No problem! In the midst of bankruptcy? No problem!
Now, forget the obvious privacy issues. Has anyone in Washington ever heard of identity theft?
But then again, why would we be shocked to learn there's no screening by these Washington bozos?
You remember Edward Snowden, the NSA leaker, and the Navy Yard shooter. They obviously weren't properly screened.
So why is it that the a key part of the president's signature legislation - for which Secretary of Health and Human Services Kathleen Sebelius had more than three years to prepare - can't even get the website off the ground.
And the administration refuses to tell us how many people have signed up for ObamaCare. The reason is they don't know. And the reason they don't know is because you can't get past the first page!
Simple Sebelius says she doesn't know how many people have signed up, but she does know it's getting better.
Really? It's getting better? How would you know?
And not to worry, she says 85 percent of us already have health care and it's only 15 percent of us who need to worry about this.
Let me see if I understand this. We have spent $400 million dollars on a system based on 10-year-old technology that will need to be overhauled from a company from Canada with a French name, who by the way doubled their profits in one quarter, so that none of us can sign up for this miraculous health care, which so many of us need.
