Sen. John Cornyn of Texas one of Health and Human services Secretary Sebelius (Oversees Obamacare) most aggressive questioners, read aloud from a page of the White House website that says: "If you like your plan, you can keep it and you don't have to change a thing due to the health care law."
Turing to Sebelius, he said, "Well, we know that lying to Congress is a crime, but unfortunately lying to the American people is not. I'd just like to as you a simple true or false question. Is that statement on the White House website true or is it false? Sebelius said, "Sir I think the statement is that..." before Cornyn cut her off. "Is it true or is it false?" Madame Secretary?" he asked.
She said "a vast majority" of people who are insured through their jobs would keep their plans and "a majority" of the 11 million in the individual market will keep plans with stronger coverage while others will have to choose if they have a brand new plan and not a grandfathered plan.
Crornyn responded, "I will just ask that the record note that you have refused to answer my question whether it's true or false."
