Ezekiel Emanuel Blames Fox News for ObamaCare Failure

Megyn Kelly, Ezekiel Emanuel Battle Over Obamacare Again: You Didn’t Foresee Mass Cancellations?! (Mediaite)

Megyn Kelly and White House health care advisor Ezekiel Emanuel faced off again, following the release of the official Obamacare registration numbers. Kelly repeatedly pressed Emanuel to say whether the White House foresaw mass cancellations by insurance companies once the health care law went into effect.

Emanuel admitted the numbers are disappointing, but was optimistic about them improving in the coming months. When Kelly said five million plans have been cancelled, Emuanel shot back, “that’s not a reliable number” and “only on Fox is it five million.” They fought over the numbers, and Emanuel argued insurance companies have been canceling plans for years.

So Kelly wanted to know if the White House knew about mass cancellations in the wake of Obamacare, and kept hammering Emanuel when he did not give a straight answer, shouting at one point, “Sir, you’re not answering!”
