number of levels. people finding out now that disproportionately older and sick. the result next year premiums will go through the roof. in the interim, all the companies losing money on the policies, every single one of them under obamacare will be have opportunity to be bailed out by taxpayers. that s wrong. we need to stop that. reporter: republicans say the problems may be worse than we know about but that the administration is not providing enough information. jenna. jenna: that is one of the criticisms we heard all along, wendell. what is the administration s defense? reporter: they knew that there were glitches and are dealing with them when they come up. hs secretary kathleen sebelius says some go back to the website problems and they re moving beyond that. we made a commitment that the website which functioned very badly at beginning of october would be a very different experience by end of november. we delivered on that commitment. we want to move for warped and
expire in february, and ultimately, it was not renewed. the house voted today to approve a new check on that website. the bill requires the administration to notify individuals if their personal information entered on to the website is later compromised. the white house opposed this bill, but stopped short of threatening a veto. the senate still has to vote on it, decide if it will take it up. next week the house is expected to vote on a bill that will require weekly updates on enrollment numbers, which we re only getting monthly at this point. also updates on website problems. chris christie now has an image problem, so why aren t members of his party coming to his defense? we ll be taking a look, next. no matter how busy your morning you can always do something better for yourself. and better is so easy with benefiber. fiber that s taste-free, grit-free and dissolves completely. so you can feel free to add it to anything. and feel better about doing it.
problem, website problems. and by the way, just a correction before, since i know the difference between new york and new jersey, and the states. i said deen heller was from nebraska, he is from ground zero. katrina vanden heuvel said it yesterday, this idea that if the argument becomes, not that we have to repeal obamacare, because as congressman mcdermott said, who is going to say that health care is bad, now that people actually have it? but the administration of it, the website, the problem of bureaucracy. well, there is an answer to that, and the answer is medicare for all. and as soon as you do that, it begins to undercut this other because what we have here is what was closer initially to a republican plan for how to do health care reform, which is the establishment of a marketplace. and that seems to be glitchy to say the least. one, republicans essentially have to go out and say, we want to take your health care, vote for us. number two, and i don t make predictions, but
thing on the to do list for the president is get congress to extend unemployment benefits. he didn t get it in the budget. he said too many people are out of work too long not to have them. instead of punishing families who can least afford it, republicans should make it their new year s resolution and do the right thing and restore the vital economic security for the constitients right now. he will be pushing the implementation of obama care to make sure it goes better than the website. for republicans, the website problems was a flaw in the law that should be repealed epitirely. and they will try to subject it to death by a thousand cuts. mr. obama would like an immigration reform bill. he will make sure hispanics know that republicans are the hold off. republicans show no sign.
more, have more people enrolled. and i think, you know, they re going to run into the problem they can t just be anti and against something without putting forward anything as a proposal. and that s where they are right now. and that s why holding votes on the website. i don t know. to be very cliche, it feels very 2013. and i m pretty sure we re moving into 2014 and beyond website problems. thank you, both. and coming up, we re going to talk about the congressional hustle. we ll talk about the top priorities for lawmakers in 2014, including, potentially, that unemployment insurance. plus, we will have, of course, an update on this winter storm already slamming the northeast. take a look at that live picture again from massachusetts, birthplace of two american presidents and a snowy place today. stay with us. hey linda! what are you guys doing? having some fiber! with new phillips fiber good gummies. they re fruity delicious!
