Sen. Lamar Alexander (R-Tenn.) today called for Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius to resign over the disastrous HeathCare.gov rollout. Alexander is the ranking member on the Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee.
"The president should ask Secretary Sebelius to resign her position because of the disastrous rollout of #Obamacare."

Alexander isn’t putting a lot of faith in the “tech surge” that’s supposed to have the site up and running by the end of November — and least if it’s done under Sebelius’ watch.
"Expecting [Sec Sebelius] to be able to fix what she has not been able to fix during the last three and one half years is unrealistic."

"It is time for [Sebelius] to resign and someone else to take charge. No…CEO would escape accountability after such a poor performance."

Alexander also took a shot at the most transparent administration ever, noting that Obamacare enrollment numbers might very well be the last, best kept secret in Washington.
"With #Wikileaks & #Snowden spilling our beans … what’s happening on the #Obamacare exchanges is the only secret left in #Washington.”
