They are only working now because a glitch czar had to be appointed. I do not know how you feel about that stop it upsets me. You came before the committee and told us that everything was ok. We spent hundreds of millions of dollars. We had 3. 5 years to get it right and then we had to appoint a glitch czar to get it right. The enrollment numbers are meager. Perhaps you have a different story. Ayres, canceled plans, broken promises. That is just the start. Now we know that your agency failed to heed internal warnings about the lack of readiness of the exchanges. It is my hope today that he will come to the subcommittee, prepared to answer our questions. I hope you will set the talking points aside. You owe this to your superiors. You owe this to the secretary. You owe this to the president. You owe this to the congress. You owe it to the American People. This committee is about oversight.
