"In opening statements Thursday, Republicans on the committee denounced the problems with the Web site as symptomatic of more widespread difficulties with the Affordable Care Act, widely known as Obamacare. Democrats said the site’s glitches should not detract from the overall success of the new law and charged that Republicans were less interested in fixing the problems than in undermining the law.
In one testy exchange during questioning of the company executives, Rep. Frank Pallone (D-N.J.) derided the hearing as a “monkey court,” chastising Republicans for raising privacy concerns that he said were specious.
“You are trying to scare people so they don’t apply” for health insurance on the exchanges, he said. He said Republicans want to undermine public trust in the law in an effort to delay or repeal it. His outburst came after two Republicans alleged that the federal marketplace does not adequately protect people’s medical privacy."
