louisiana's steve scalise called it "damning." >> if the president really didn't know about this...s report says the white house absolutely knew what was going on, and they didn't tell the president. he ought to be firing these people today. >> reporter: administration officials said they took action after the report. but henry chao, the top technology officer at medicare, said he was not briefed on the consultants' findings. pennsylvania republican tim murphy pressed the point. >> and so, this is a major report that went as high up as the secretary-- we don't know-- saying that there were serious problems with this. and you're saying that even though you were interviewed by this, you did not ever have this briefing yourself? >> no, i didn't. >> reporter: chao did say 30% to 40% of the system that supports the online exchange still needs to be developed and tested. at a separate hearing, one private security expert warned the healthcare web site has flaws that put consumer data at "critical risk," but white house spokesman jay carney insisted today the information people give is saf

steve: the gentleman yields back. the chair recognizes the gentleman from louisiana, mr. scalise, for five minutes. mr. scalise: thank you, madam speaker. we all heard the promise over and over again, if you like what you have you can keep it. it was probably the most often repeated promise since barack obama's been president. for five years now that promise has been made, and unfortunately now millions of americans are realizing that that promise has been broken. over and over again. over 100,000 louisiana families are seeing that broken promise. in fact, i asked through social media we had a social media site called share with steve where we asked people in louisiana's first congressional district to share their stories with me, and the stories i have heard have been compelling and heartbreaking. in fact i started sharing some of those stories with the secretary of health and human services. when secretary sebelius was before us a little over a week ago. i shared some of those stories with her. one of those was sean from covington, i read sean's story of the health care he has now lost for his family
