House Dem accuses Issa of selectively leaking Obamacare documents

[spanone]

Rep. Elijah Cummings, D-Maryland, says Rep. Darrell Issa, R-California, "misunderstood or mischaracterized" information he released about HealthCare.gov


Washington (CNN) – The top Democrat on the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee accused the panel's chairman, Representative Darrell Issas R-California, of selectively leaking documents related to testing done on HealthCare.gov, the troubled Obamacare website.

Rep. Elijah Cummings D-Maryland, made the allegation Friday amid a battle over Issa's request for testimony from the Obama administration's top technology officer, Todd Park, at a hearing scheduled for next week. Issa has hinted he may subpoena Park to compel his testimony.

Earlier this week, Issa released a statement saying stress tests conducted on HealthCare.gov one day before its launch concluded the site was only "able to reach 1100 users before response time gets too high."

Issa said that performance stands in contrast with previous statements made to the committee by Park who insisted the site could handle a much larger workload, close to 60,000.
