Ryan blasts Sebelius' silence on ObamaCare implementation inquiries Oct 23rd 2013, 07:30 Published October 23, 2013 FoxNews.com Aug. 22, 2013: In this photo, Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius speaks during an event discussing the federal health care overhaul in Philadelphia.AP House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan has asked Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius multiple times since August to testify on the administration's plans for the ObamaCare implementation but so far she has failed to do so, Fox News has learned. Ryan, R-Wis., began asking Sebelius to appear before the House Budget Committee well before the rocky launch of the health law's sign-up website on Oct. 1, in order to provide more details on how the law would be implemented. Ryan first reached out to Sebelius' office on Aug. 15, asking her to testify on Sept. 11. HHS staff indicated to Ryan the secretary would not be available. In another letter on Aug. 22, Ryan asked Sebelius to provide an organizational chart of the department's implementation efforts. The letter also asked that the HHS produce a list of the offices involved in implementation, the number of full-time employees involved, and all relevant spending items. Ryan asked the secretary to provide the requested materials by Sept. 11, but the HHS has yet to do so. Ryan sent another letter on Tuesday to Sebelius' office, asking her to testify again and to provide more information on the logistics behind the Obama administration's so-called "tech surge" to work out the problems with the ObamaCare website. "Your continued silence on these important inquiries after refusing to testify raises serious questions about the administration's commitment to transparency and accountability," Ryan said.  Sebelius is scheduled to testify before the House Committee on Energy and Commerce on Oct. 30 about the problems plaguing the health law's website, after repeated requests from that committee.
