A top Democrat came out swinging Wednesday at HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius over questions he has about if the Affordable Care Act will be ready for implementation come October 1. During a Senate committee hearing, Sen. Max Baucus of Montana told her “the administration needs to do a better job” because he sees a ‘train wreck’ coming.
Baucus, chair of the Finance Committee and who helped write the ACA, drilled Sebelius on if federal exchanges will be ready and what the federal government is doing to make sure Americans understand how the law works. “The administration’s public information campaign on the benefits of the Affordable Care Act deserves a failing grade,” he said. “You need to fix this.”
