suicide last month. investigators believe that she had been bullied online and in person for about a year s time. martha: new reaction today after explosive hearing into the count countless obamacare website problems that have been witnessed. the lead contractors behind the site got a bit of a grilling by a house committee yesterday, and one of the biggest moments in that when a new jersey democrat blasted republicans for suggesting that healthcare.gov violates american law. once again here we have my republican colleagues trying to scare everybody will the gentleman yield? no i will not yield to this monkey court or whatever this is. this is not a monkey court. do whatever you want. i m not yielding. i m trying to tell you that the problem here protecting american citizens citizens preexisting conditions don t matter. hipaa doesn t apply. there is no health information in the process. you re asked about your address, your date of birth. you re not asked health
glad to have you with us today, everybody. i m martha maccallum. bill: i m bill hemmer on this friday morning. all this among heavy criticism of the botched obamacare rollout. here are democrats calling out for, tension of the open enrollment period. high-profile names like senator dianne feinstein and mark used dal. senator joe manchin, and barrow. martha: you wonder what the reaction to the the defection in part by the growing list of democrats? reporter: i think martha we ll likely see the open enrollment time extended. the real question, the individual mandate or penalty, whether that gets delayed as well, not just the enrollment extension. i think overall, you re seeing this breakaway, especially in red state democrats up for re-election. they re looking at the polls in
right to privacy protection that people see. so that s a fixable problem. on the bigger problem of obamacare itself, it is not, it is just not working. so i am introducing the oca, the obamacare choice act, which makes it voluntary for a year, not delay it. go ahead and let it go into place, but let people choose to hey wouldn t levyt. any fine against somebody who chooses not to, right? exactly. martha: clearly a part of the way to finance this. so that might be problematic for people watching this program. they will do that anyway. the democrats are beginning to say, we ought to delay it. well, you know, make it voluntary is not as strong as delaying it. just let as american people choose. i have a feeling that is what the president will end up doing. martha: i m almost out of time, congressman, i will want to get your thoughts what you will want to ask kathleen sebelius when she appears before your
committee next week. what do you want to know? i will ask her had made the decision to hide the privacy waiver? i will ask her to fix it. and i m going to ask some questions about the costs. this obamacare is going to be hugely expensive. it s not going to save money. it will cost money. and then i will ask her to support either making it voluntary or delaying it until we get it right. if we can t get it right, let s repeal it. martha: we ll see where that goes. what do you think about her saying people who want her to resign are not people she works for, before i let you go? i m not ready to ask her to resign because i don t think she is the only culprit, but i do think she has a lot to be accountable for. martha: all right. fair enough. congressman barton, good to have you here, sir. we ll see you next week, at the next hearing, thank you. bill: got a fox news alert out of colorado. jonbenet ramsey case. moments ago the court released new documents that have been sealed for all t
the connection was and who knew what when. also you re talking about a lot of money here, a lot of different numbers are floating around out there but it is in the hundreds of millions of dollars to launch this website that as yet really performed. martha: indeed. bret, lots more to be said. we ll watch you tonight. watch bret baier as he angst cores fox news reporting, charles krauthamer as well, a life that matters, that will be after bret as well on special report. that is 10:00 p.m. saw clips of it last night. we re looking forward to see that bill: man is such an inspiration. martha: he sure is. bill: what do you think, how do you solve the issues with obamacare and healthcare.gov? you have a voice in this, folks. send a tweet to @billhemmer, @marthamaccallum. lines are open as we say every day. when we do that martha: people are not shy how they feel about this issue. keep them coming, folks. we love to read them.
