WASHINGTON – Last week it was a House panel, but the Senate gets a shot Wednesday morning to ask Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius about the problems associated with the rocky rollout of ObamaCare.
Sebelius will be facing tough questions from senators who have growing concerns about President Obama's health care overhaul.
On the panel is Sen. Max Baucus, D-Mont., who was one of the architects of the 2010 law. Until now, Baucus has been a very vocal supporter of the Affordable Care Act but even he has had his share of doubt in recent days over the online site HealthCare.gov.
Specifically, Baucus has a problem with security testing of the site that could potentially expose millions of Americans to cyberfraud or identity theft.
Documents have surfaced that seem to indicate Obama administration officials cut corners on security testing while rushing to meet a self-imposed Oct. 1 deadline to launch online health insurance markets.
The administration has been struggling in recent days to knock back a wave of criticism that has been mounting since the rollout.
