Taking Obamacare Obstruction To The Next Level

Republicans on the House Energy and Commerce Committee have started a probe — “probe” — of the entities tapped to help enroll people in Obamacare at the local level. And it’s now got Democrats hopping mad.

The leading Democrat on the committee, Henry Waxman, is accusing the Republicans of intimidation and obstruction.
