Will millions lose access to Medicaid? [View all]

The White House Press Secretary doesn't know. Let that sink in for a moment. She'll get back to you. And now it's coming out that the portals are already down in all 50 states. Wish she's been called out on that on live TV. The press needs to get on this immediately.

From what I saw of the press conference (I could stomach very little) Peter Alexander was taking on kind of a Jim Acosta role, and I appreciated his pointed questions. He even interrupted her when she wasn't answering. Don't know how long he'll keep it up but it was good to see.

Still, no answer to a major question that impacts millions of people's lives. Unbelievable.
