Gowdy to ObamaCare Developer: How Much More Money Will This Cost to Fix?

HEMMER: "Enrollment numbers are expected this week. I don't know if that's midweek, or end of this week, but what is your expectation when it comes to those enrollment numbers?"
GOWDY: "Well, Bill, if the enrollment numbers were good we would already have them. You and I both know that. So they're going to be dismal. The last estimate I saw was 1,100 people a day. I was not good in math, but out of 313 million people in the country, 1,100 a day means that we will get it done in about 800 years. Which is a little later than I think people have a right to expect."
HEMMER: "Well, Jeffrey Zeints, he dropped a bomb on Friday afternoon when he came out, and pretty much, he is the guy that the Administration brought in from the outside, from Bain Capital to go ahead and fix the problems, he was quoted as saying that healthcare.gov is a long way from where it needs to be. Perhaps an understatement, but what is your sense about how much further, and how much work, and time is required now?"
GOWDY: "Well, as you noted in your opening, it was down again this weekend. It makes you wonder, Bill, whether they tested this product at all, which is where I'm going to go with my questioning. When you have three years, and a half a billion dollars, it is not unreasonable to ask, when is the last time you tested this product end to end, and what were the results? Because we have been led to believe that the results were abysmal. So why didn't they ask for a delay? We don't know how much more money is going to be involved. I know this. We haven't even gotten into the security. We haven't even gotten into whether or not your personal information is going to be protected. We're just trying to get on the website at this point."
