Secretary Sebelius Redefines Success Of Obamacare Following Question From Renacci

Rep. Jim Renacci had the opportunity to question Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Kathleen Sebelius during a House Ways & Means Committee hearing examining the President's budget proposal. Rep. Renacci said, "Madam Secretary, in an interview on September 30, 2013, you said when asked regarding Obamacare what success would look like, your answer and I quote was 'I think success looks like at least 7 million people signed up by the end of March in 2014'. Open enrollment ends this month and you're well short of this target. Based on your own standards, Obamacare will not be successful at the end of March 2014. What do you now call success?" Secretary Sebelius replied, "Success looks like millions of people with affordable health coverage, which we will have by the end of March."
