and their pocketbook is no longer going to be available. so you have to ask why did the president continue to say that and if they did know that many people were going to lose their plans three years ago, why did he continue over the three-year period? who was informing him or who was not informing him that there were millions of americans who were going to see a loss of health insurancehan. now, when you talk about what is working in some of the states and she la referenced kentucky and california, basically what they have is medicaid expansion. and in kentucky, 21,000 of the 26,000 enrollees are those that have enrolled for medicaid. what we are seeing in tennessee is that people are losing. we ve got about 28,000, 30,000 people that have lost a small business, access to a small business insurance program due strictly to the new president s
mike rogers is the chairman of the house intelligence committee just beginning a hearing under way right now just starting it. james clapper the director of national intelligence and general keith alexander, the head of the national security agency, the nsa, will be testifying answering questions, presumably about the nsa surveilance program including reports over the past few days that the u.s. has been spying on allied leaders, including monitoring the personal cell phone of the german chancellor angela merkel. we ll monitor what s going on, bring you the highlights. stand by for that. right now he s just opening up the hearing. meanwhile, president obama is being hammered on many fronts right now. how much did he know about the surveilance of friendly allies? why didn t he know about the problems that were going to plague the health care website?
the broad strokes of a program that included her or her country and her as a leader as one of those targets. you ll be back later when the hearing starts. i want to see what the members of congress, mike rogers and others have to say, as well. as i said, that house intelligence committee hearing on nsa is open. there will be cameras there. the subject surveilance of international leaders scheduled to begin at the bottom of the hour. there you see a picture of the committee room very few members inside so far. but they presumably all will be in there at the bottom of the hour. we ll have live coverage. so did president obama mislead americans when he said repeatedly that people could keep their existing health insurance under obama care? and the other significant question that is gaining some steam out there, kathleen sebelius, the secretary of health and human services, what should she do? should she resign? we re going to talk about that and much more. two congressmen from opposite

that women, children families sheila jackson lee, he gave congress woman jackson lee, i m going to give marsha blackburn the last word but keep it brief. the program is too expensive to afford. you cannot keep the health insurance or the doctors that you have been seeing. this is changing the entire health care marketplace, the incompetence on this rollout has been staggering. the american people are looking at this and saying if you can t manage a website, then you certainly cannot manage health care and you cannot manage one-sixth of the nation s economy. so the they think it is time for us to just suspend all of this and start over. marsha blackburn, sheila jackson lee, a good solid serious debate as i knew it would be. thanks to you both for joining us. thank you. on the first anniversary of the superstorm sandy, we re going to talk with the atlantic city mayor, lorenzo langford about the on going recovery in the city.stay with us.
