that is chairman darrell issa giving some of his opening statements. we will dip in for a little bit of this hearing. >> today's hearing is likely the last full committee hearing of this congress. this committee has a primary obligation and has lived up to that obligation to look at government to make government more transparent and accountable. and at times, members on both toes of the deus have helped create that transparency. but no government program needs increased transparency and accountability and honesty more than the formal care act known as obamacare. it has proven time and time again to in fact have made false claims. every member on both sides of agree that the affordable care act, or obamacare, is a large, expensive program relying on a comp lex network of government programs which significantly impact the lives of all americans. design,history of passage, and implementation with the law is fraught with half-truths and misperceptions. here are a few of the hall's claims the administration has made regarding obamacare.

the real point is darrell issa says if you can't trust jonathon gruber how can you trust his analyticsn if they doubt the numbers they should have the congressional bucket office rerun them. that's what they should do top. take the pound of flesh and let him sit in the hot seat and let him sweat, he deserves it. bill: what republic cabs are argue is this was all deception and that -- what republicans will argue is this was all deception. will gruber doom obamacare? you said this hearing will not go well. i don't see how it goes well when you play the clips and you get him to respond. then you have this firing squad that's ready to tee off on him. what is the state of obama care then? >> i'm interested in seeing what the head offed medicaid and medicare services said. she will be testifying tomorrow about the enrollment numbers for obamacare. but let's not forget. i keep repeating this a lot. obamacare has never been popular. it's not like it was popular among the american people in 2010 when it passed. it was unpopular then and it's more unpopular now. by jonathon gruber's own words. h

darrell issa of california.h someone else 6789 this is a final chance for him to wield the gavel and for some say he was speaking off the cuff. said something he didn't intend. others say he was revealing what he thought in talking about the process when it was originally passed. we've talked about the length and density of the law and the fact that many people were not able to read through it very carefully. that was part of the controversy. not fully understanding what was in it. and they talked about the need for transparency. so for gruber to talk about the american people and voters and to use the words stupid or stupidity, that's really a moment for republicans to cease upon. democrats will surely come to his defense. and the other person testifying today, marilyn, who is an administrator with medicare and medicaid service will also be grilled for a slip-up in the latest enrollment numbers. 400,000 not accounted for that they had said had signed up. so basically what we're going to see is again dissecting
