Michael Burgess said "Just late last week there was a news story that healthcare.gov was still not finished. The back-end portion, the part that deals with payments to doctors and hospitals, still has not been constructed. Now, that was odd because just the week before the President held a big press conference down at the White House and said, Mission accomplished; everything we wanted to do has been done. Well, how do you reconcile these discrepancies? What, in fact, is the timeline for this to be accomplished? Mission accomplished: the patients, the doctors, and the hospitals who are going to end up the ones on the hook for these payments that are not going to be received, I wonder if they feel the same way. ___________________
