A week after joining more than 30 House colleagues calling for her resignation in a letter to President Obama, U.S. Rep. Blaine Luetkemeyer (MO-3) issued the following statement following Sebelius’ testimony today before the House Committee on Energy and Commerce:

“Secretary Sebelius did absolutely nothing to ease Americans’ concerns about this program’s myriad failures since it was launched on Oct. 1 which raises further concern about continued implementation of the law.  Secretary Sebelius’ carefully choreographed testimony insults the intelligence of the American people, and the Administration’s announcement of a six-week delay in the requirement to purchase health-care coverage before incurring a penalty is unfair and way too little, way too late. I again call on the president to request Secretary Sebelius’ immediate resignation. It is my intention to continue to support a full repeal of this law or, at the very least, a one-year delay of it for the individuals and families who are being held to a different standard than businesses by the Administration.”
