Thank you. Gentle ladys time expired. Thank you, mr. Chairman for holding the hearing and thank you for being with us. Last week when the contractors built the system were here, i asked them all under oath if they had actually delivered the system they were contracted to build. And all four of them answered yes. I want to ask you, did the contractors deliver the system that you contracted them to build . I dont think i can accurately answer that question. What we know is weve a system that doesnt function properly. We definitely know that. As we fix things, well know more about what is broken along the way.

Thats correct. So the delays and problems with healthcare. Gov do not affect the millions of individuals thanks to the aca who no longer have to worry about lifetime monetary caps on their coverage that previously sent them to bankruptcy . Thats absolutely true. I think the quote that the president was quoted recently saying if you have health care, you can you dont have to sign up for the new marketplace was referring to the large portion, the 95 of insured americans who plans are solid and stay in place and move forward.
