. >> you are saying that the president is not responsible for hss. >> sir, i didn't say that. >> so the president is ultimately responsible and it is great that you are a time player and taking responsibility it is the president's responsibility. >> clearly. whatever. he is the president and responsible for government. >> it is down the whole time you are testifying. it is down. >> sir, i was informed that we were ready to launch on october 1st. the contractors whom we had as our private partners told us and the committee they never suggested a delay. that is accurate. our cm s team we were ready to go. and i told the president we were ready to g. clearly i was wrong. >> those are takes for you. what was accomplished today. joining us is the congressman from nebraska. thanks for being with us. what a hearing you and what did you learn in those hours? >> i don't know if we learned anything. other than they anyhow there were going to be problems for the roll out and what is disturbing they didn't do the test thing and mismanaged this and made poor decisions and they are in charge of healt

on one state hss secretary kathleen sebelius is scheduled to testify before lawmakers about the problems and when she knew about them. ko im for cbs news. >> the obama administration has not yet revaled how many people have signed up for medical insurance under the affordable care act. >>> it was a cool evening in our area after a very nice day. take a live look outside. mostly clear skies. so what can we expect for the upcoming workweek? meteorologist chelsea ingram is in the first warning weather center updating current temperatures. >> hi, everyone. tell you what. if these cool temperatures aren't for you, i think you'll like the next couple days. first look at current temperatures, sitting at 55 degrees at bwi marshall, much cooler out in western maryland, around 43 degrees in oakland. we topped out at 60 degrees at the airport. kind of nice considering we haven't had a temperature of 60 or above in the past four days. we'll have a cool start to your monday morning and finish in the low and mid-60s monday afternoon. a cool front will pass through and bring a little cloud cover. we'll

hss, the health and human services says we want to pay for this one, and then other states if they want to use the federal system and import it to their own state, we don't want to pay for it multiple times. the federal government is footing the bill for all of this. they built this open source system, and -- and it has been basically much clunkier, obviously, than they imaged. i think some of these comparisons to well, you know, ftd doesn't crash before valentine's day, and ebay doesn't crash before christmas is pretty unfair and pretty spurious, obviously. this is -- as you were saying earlier, this is a system that's on orders of magnitude far more complex than anything that's really happening in the private sector. >> those web sites would have all had the opportunity to watch in beta mode ask then ramp up slowly over time, and suddenly here we are. it's like, boom, october 1st, we have millions of consumers wanting to get information, and they can't. >> also, the other big thing here is that a lot of the regulations didn't come down until fairly recently. if you talk to the actual

is the hss secretary responsible? is the president responsible? who is responsible? >> the president spoke clearly about he's unsatisfied. >> is he responsible? >> this is on us. that goes from the president on down. >> please welcome fox chief white house correspondent ed henry. it's great to have you. >> glad to be on. i feel like a pup tent in a tornado. i've never heard that. >> it doesn't end well. this website launch hasn't ended well. do you think that it's typical that it's always this c contentious? >> there's a different occupant of the oval office and a lot of people don't seem willing to challenge power. i did it at cnn with bush and i felt like i had a lot more people challenging. she thought i took president bush on just as hard as i take president obama on. it's not about me. i think it's about the press in general. we've got to all do our jobs. it's not about taking anybody on because they're a democrat or republican. it's about challenging authority and power. >> it does seem like recently the press corp. has said we haven't been given the transparen

an hss spokesperson said the agency wanted to insure that there was subsidies that could help pay forre they started to seeing prices for policies. experts say it is a problem with that. to see subsidies you can create an account and that does two things. one leads to a ton of traffic for one part of the web site. and eliminates the ability to shop anonymously and browse plans in proveder websites. and that has experts scratching their head. that was a home base of a design firm that received 3 million to brain storm ideas for an easy to use web site and they suggested to include a anonymous option to see information. the federal government hasn't told us how many people enrolled for coverage in health care.gov. colorado 226 people enrolled in week one and covering a total of 305 people in colorado and issues with health care.gov. i have tried to create an account and finally got an e-mail that said my account is ready but can't log in? >> that say design flaw. >> it is a small stuff. >> numbers, logs, in. accounts. >> president obama's second term agenda taking a hit over the budget

he is digging in his heels as the hss secretary and insist that healthcare.gov gets fixed and after itfixed that we have a full, complete and impartial hearing on the facts and figure out what happened. and not blame and point fingers and scapegoat but insure that it doesn't happen again. i commend the president for not taking the easy road and scapegoating. >> what about that? scapegoating would be easier than following a solution. >> if the roll out of obama care is not gross negligence it has no meaning. define gross negligence. it would say obama care roll out, okay. but what the real reason outside of idea logical loyalty for the president. he can't afford to have a confirmation hearing for the health and human secretary. >> absolutely. >> they would use it to get documents. >> and you think in a private conversation she would say if you want me to step down. >> she hasn't said. that one of the interesting questions, why she hasn't offered the resignation or said she offered it. in the bush administration donald rumsfeld offered his resignation not once but twice. shift. kathleen

. >> reporter: the president's hss secretary called the website a debacle today, john. even as the president was defending the law, and drawing parallels with another high-profile launch that had its share of problems. before there was obamacare, there was romney care, the massachusetts law that was the model for the affordable care act. visiting boston, president obama said the comparison sil hold. >> because you guys had a truman model that we built, the affordable care act on this tem platte. >platte. >> the president spoke on the same site that romney did. the president said that they will be happier with a new plan. >> so if you're getting one of these letters, just shop around in the new marketplace. you're going to get a better deal. >> for some, that deal could mean higher monthly costs than they played in the old plan. >> if you can, will you. health and human services secretary, kathleen sebelius. >> hold me accountable. i'm responsible. >> republics charged that the reb sight wasn't secure, and the applicants' financial data could be compromised. >> will you

is the hss secretary responsible? is the president responsible? who is responsible? >> the president spoke clearly about he's unsatisfied. >> is he responsible? >> this is on us. that goes from the president on down. >> please welcome fox chief white house correspondent ed henry. it's great to have you. >> glad to be on. i feel like a pup tent in a tornado. i've never heard that. >> it doesn't end well. this website launch hasn't ended well. do you think that it's typical that it's always this c contentious? >> there's a different occupant of the oval office and a lot of people don't seem willing to challenge power. i did it at cnn with bush and i felt like i had a lot more people challenging. she thought i took president bush on just as hard as i take president obama on. it's not about me. i think it's about the press in general. we've got to all do our jobs. it's not about taking anybody on because they're a democrat or republican. it's about challenging authority and power. >> it does seem like recently the press corp. has said we haven't been given the transparen

today that the problems with the exchanges are systematic, profound and indisputable as he called on hss secretary to resign for what he called gross incompetence. bret. >> jim, thank you. >>> while the president's position on health care, the shutdown and the debt ceiling gets largely sympathetic coverage from mass media, daily show host john stewart turned the tables a bit. he played a clip of the president in his news conference, once again painting the house republican position as unreasonable. but it didn't quite come out that well. >> when you're at the plant and you're in the middle of your job, do you ever say to your boss, unless i get a raise right now and more vacation pay, i'm going to just shut down the plant? [ laughter ] >> i'm pretty sure you just described a union strike. >> little pop culture on a friday. in fact, the president is actually losing union support. workers in the northwest, for example, are threatening to stop working over obama care. correspondent dan springer has details from seattle. >> reporter: 30,000 grocerye wo state could soon be walking the picket

. >> and did hss respond to the recommendations? sebelius: i was not in the meeting, i don't know who they talk to. i will get back to you. >> thank you. thank you, mr. chairman. >> mr. green. >> madam secretary, thank you for taking time to be here today. i represent parts of east and north houston harris county. our district has one of the highest uninsured rates in the country. even worse we have one of the highest rates of people who have jobs but don't receive insurance through their employer. it's for this reason i believe houston would be a good place for you to come spend spread the word about the benefits of the affordable care. we learned are unable to attend because of scheduling conflicts and i hope we can have an agreement sometime in the future you will come to the fourth-largest city probably the highest number of uninsured in the metropolitan. we have some of the highest uninsured in the country. it's important to me and our constituents to get it right, and that's why i share the disappointment the website is not wo

obamacare, provision hss must verify obamacare applicants before they receive subsidies.fore receiving money burks that wasn't in the thousands of pages. >> here is the starred portion. that's not even going to be in unless the republicans agree to this thing called the belly button tax that would give everybody $65 towards your insurance. really is a give me to the unions. this is what is so insincere about the proposal. 70 senators, many democrats, have already said, let's get rid of the medical device tax. they already weighed in. if you're going at this sincerely to get a deal done, you say, of course we want the medical device tax out. we already voted for it. so that would be the thing, shows obamacare is adjusting toward the will of the people. here is the tension now, if they pass this to the house today, what does john boehner and kevin mccarthy do if he doesn't feel he has the majority of the votes? does he come back with his own plan and are we dealing with this again tomorrow at this time? >> one of the other provisions is it looks like the two sides are going
