record, if you were able to do what the gentleman just suggested or follow the recommendation of cory gardner, our colleague from colorado and went in to buy an individual policy, would you be able to find one that would protect you from cheap shots, or do you think that has to be mandated for coverage? i leave the record open for your response. >> we'll wait for that response to come back. >> i would gladly join the exchange if i didn't have affordable coverage in my workplace. i would gladly join it. the d.c. market is an independent state-based market, even though d.c. is not a state. we do not run the d.c. market in the federal marketplace. >> gentle lady from north carolina. >> thank you, mr. chairman. i have a couple of questions. thank you for being with us today, madam secretary. i'd like to go to the issue that has been raised by my colleagues on the left here about accurate information. number one, i've heard the issue of medicare part d brought up many, many times. although, my colleagues all voted no against it initially, now they're extolling the virtues of medicare part d. is me

. >>> republican congressman cory gardner sited on the committee as does democratic congressman from both for being with us. let me ask you this, what do you think of what you've heard so far? >> i think it's clear from the testimony that lack of transparency with this administration is a preexisting condition. the obama care rollout has moved into one big obama care copout. as she can't answer basic questions about how many people are in and have received the insurance in the exchange. she can't answer questions about young people joining. can't answer questions about if the targts numbers are going to be hit by october 31st, how many people are in today. >> i want to get you to representative. thank you for getting together to talk about this. what is your response? because in that first long set of questioning from chairman camp, we herd them ask over and over for serve numbers. can you tell us how many people have enrolled and how many are in which age group. and she said repeatedly, we will have knows numbers in mid-november. what's your reaction to that? did you expect and want
