WATCH LIVE: Congress Holds Hearing on Obamacare Website Problems

The House Energy and Commerce Committee is holding the first congressional hearings on the Affordable Care Act federal exchange rollout problems on Thursday morning.

The site has come under widespread scrutiny, both from Republicans, and, increasingly, Democratic lawmakers and more liberal writers like Ezra Klein.
