I also recognize the difficulties you face since the administration doesnt make the human rights issue in my view enough of a top priority.

Our own going concern about the of is one of the reasons we are holding this hearing today. Exactly one year ago today, members of this Committee Member we heard from the administrator who told us healthcare. Gov will be ready october 1. We were told would work and later we found out that was not quite the same thing. The contractors told us the same thing. Our reviews of the website were brushed aside.
