A feisty Lee Terry (R-NE) wants faster updates on Obamacare

WASHINGTON — Rep. Lee Terry isn't exactly pulling any punches as he tries to force the Obama administration to provide more data on the new health insurance marketplaces.
Writing on the conservative website Breitbart.com this week, the Omaha Republican accused the administration of repeatedly lying to the public. He cited the president's broken promise that people could keep their insurance plans as well as cover-up allegations related to the Benghazi terrorist attacks. And he said the new healthcare.gov insurance marketplace has left Americans vulnerable to theft of their personal information.
“Knowing your information was vulnerable and ignoring internal security requirements, the Obama administration went live with healthcare.gov, placing more value on political expediency than on protecting the best interests of your personal and private information,” Terry wrote. “Time and again, this administration has proven that it cannot be trusted.”
That kind of aggressive criticism certainly fits with the national GOP strategy of beating the health care drum throughout 2014 in hopes that continuing attacks on the new law bring electoral success to GOP candidates. Friday, for example, the Republican-controlled House approved a bill aimed at addressing potential data security issues with the federal website — a vote that helps keep the spotlight on the law's rocky start.
