Jon Karl Presses Jay Carney to Delay Obamacare Mandate: 'You Can't Really Charge People a Fine'
Shortly after President Obama delivered remarks on the implementation of the Affordable Care Act, White House Press Secretary Jay Carney conducted a briefing in which he seemed to leave open the possibility that the problems with the Obamacare website could immunize consumers from the individual mandate, while also appearing to rule it out. ABC News' Jon Karl emphatically pressed Carney to delay the individual mandate, and CBS News' Major Garrett pressed Carney for clarification. After Carney told CNN's Brianna Keilar that the individual mandate in the Affordable Care Act makes allowances for those who fail to acquire health insurance due to a lack of access, such as those in states where Republican governors refused to expand Medicaid, Karl cut to the chase. "Given all the problems we have seen with people trying to enroll in this program, is the White House going to be delaying the mandate?" "That is not at all what I was saying," Carney replied. "Well, why not?" Karl cut in. "Why not delay? You are going to charge people a fine for not enrolling." "We're three weeks into a six-month enrollment period," Carney replied, adding that "the law itself, as written, makes clear that Americans with access to affordable insurance would need to have insurance by March 31. The people that do not have access to affordable care, due to a state not expanding Medicaid, and there are states out there depriving their own residence of access to expanded Medicaid because they made that choice, or due to other factors, will not be penalized." He then spent a few minutes reiterating the President's message that the focus is on fixing the problems, and delivering affordable health care to Americans. "You cannot really charge people a fine for not getting health insurance if you don't fix this mess, if you can't get the website to work, can you?" Karl asked. "I appreciate what you're saying, and I have answered now, and will answer again..." Carney began. "If the website is not fixed, will people still have to pay the fine?" Karl interrupted. "First of all, we are way still early in the process," Carney said, noting again that "we are three weeks into this," but added that the law "as written, it is clear that people without access to affordable care will not be penalized." Carney's answers, to this point, appeared to indicate a possible willingness to consider the rollout in exempting some people from the individual mandate, but his response to Major Garrett's followup also indicated the possibility that it won't be considered. "You are saying, when you mentioned other factors, that this website issue could fall into that category sometime in the future?" Garrett asked. "I am simply explaining to you what the law says," Carney said, a disclaimer that insulates him from announcing new policy. "Let's put it this way," he continued, "if you do not have access to affordable insurance, you will not be penalized for not buying affordable insurance." Carney reiterated the example of the Medicaid expansion, but then added "The Affordable Care Act is not a website. The issue is, do you have access to affordable health insurance? The individual responsibility provision is there for those individuals who, even though they have access to affordable health insurance, do not purchase it, and are therefore held responsible for that. The law addresses that as written." Garret tried for some more clarity, asking "Is it correct to say that the administration is looking into flexibility as far as the individual mandate? Because the enrollment has become more complicated?" "Whatever conclusions you draw , I think you can draw them," Carney replied. "It is clear that if people do not have access to affordable health insurance, then you will not be asked to pay a penalty because you have not purchased it. We are focused on making sure that millions of Americans in every state across the country do have access." Carney's answers seem contradictory and evasive, and to some extent, they are, but having listened to thousands of such responses, and knowing the issues involved here, it seems to m that Carney is hedging on two possible outcomes. If the rollout of the website is smoothed out in fairly short order, then the administration can leave things as they are, and contend that people did have sufficient access. If the problems persist, then they can establish a process whereby people can apply for exemption on a case-by-case basis, so that people in states with successful state-based exchanges might be charged the penalty, while those on the federal exchange might not. In practice, though, they would probably grant the exemption to anyone who asked for it.- published: 21 Oct 2013

Jay Carney Accuses Fox News' James Rosen of 'Creating an Exchange for Fox' on Benghazi
Fox News National Security Correspondent James Rosen put in an appearance at Thursday's White House Daily Briefing to engage Press Secretary Jay Carney on the topic of Republican Congressional investigations into Benghazi. Carney, who has been increasingly eager to call out what he sees as partisan questioning, accused Rosen of "creating an exchange for Fox," to which Rosen shot back "what we are engaged in here is for the record, not for Fox." Rosen, who was the subject of Justice Department subpoenas in the leak investigation into then-State Department contractor Stephen Jin-Woo Kim, is not a regular at White House briefings, but joined network-mate Ed Henry Thursday in order to question Carney about Benghazi. The nearly ten-minute exchange ended with a persistent Rosen being told "I think we're done here, James" by Carney as he exited the briefing room. While Rosen is correct that everything in the White House briefings is "for the record," Carney's also correct, in that if the point was simply to get Carney on the record, Ed Henry could as easily have asked the same questions. It's also true, though, that most TV reporters' questions are at least partially for the purpose of creating clips for use in news programming, which is why you'll often hear very similar questions asked five or six times at each briefing. All of these exchanges are "created" for some TV network. However, Carney's broader point appears to be that the issue of Congressional investigations into Benghazi has been covered by Fox News in much greater proportion than other outlets, and that Rosen's line of questioning was tailored to that editorial sensibility, and to that audience.- published: 17 Oct 2013

Jay Carney Challenges Ed Henry to a Crossfire Debate In EPIC Briefing Rumble - 9/19/13
9/19/13 - If things keep going this way, they'll have to start calling it the White House Beefing Room. At Thursday's daily briefing, a combative Fox News Chief White House Correspondent Ed Henry met an equally combative White House Press Secretary Jay Carney in rhetorical combat over the economy, and the ongoing Republican effort to leverage the debt ceiling. Things escalated quickly to Carney challenging Henry to an eventual Crossfire debate. This is the second time he has made such a reference to Henry this month, but the first one was a good deal more friendly. Henry began by asking Carney about the Fed's decision to continue its efforts to stimulate the economy, and what that says about the economy. "Is that not an indictment of the President's policies, since he's had five years now?" Henry asked. Despite the loaded construction, Carney started off with the calm boilerplate about just how bad things were when the President took office, how things have improved, but not enough, and how critical investments in infrastructure, research and development, and education are needed, investments that Republicans want to cut. Then, things took a turn when Henry said "2011, the President signs a Budget Control Act of 2011 — the last time we had this big debt ceiling fight — into law. And he says, 'We have $2 trillion in deficit reduction,' the President says, 'yet it also allows us to keep making key investments in things like education and research that lead to new jobs, and assures we're not cutting too abruptly while the economy is still fragile.' August 2011. Here we are more than two years later, you're saying the same thing about we need to invest in education..." "And how many jobs has the economy created since then?" Carney shot back. Henry replied "And Bernanke yesterday said it's not keeping up, that people are leaving the workforce. That's why the unemployment..." "You and I, we're going to do this on Crossfire one day, I promise," Carney said, adding "And let's be clear that I'll be on one side and you'll be on the other." Carney began making the point that those investments are as crucial today as they were then. "The budget of 2011 did that, according to the President," Henry said. "Two years later..." Carney, clearly perturbed, said "We need to help you with your facts about what happened in 2011." He took Henry through the evolution of the so-called "sequester," which was a part of the Budget Control Act that was never supposed to take place because both sides were supposed to recognize how onerous it would be, and reach an agreement on deficit reduction. "Now, the sequester is indiscriminate, across-the-board cuts, which Republicans bemoaned, until, lacking an alternative, they celebrated, including significant cuts to our military readiness and cuts to Head Start and other programs that are vital to millions of American families across the country," Carney continued. "So again, if you're suggesting by this that we ought to be cutting education, you should say so. If you're suggesting we ought to be — that's what the Republican budget proposes — that we ought to be cutting — we ought not to be funding infrastructure." "The President said we were making those investments," Henry responded. "Two years later, the Fed says it's just not growing." "Ed, have we been growing?" Carney asked. "Has the economy been growing? Yes, it is." "Those are facts," Henry persisted. "That's what he said. He said it's just not growing quick enough for us to take the training wheels off." Carney then explained that the "key investments" that have led to growth ought not to be cut, and that "Republicans have put forward ideas that would bring us back to policies that caused the worst job loss of our lifetimes." Henry then drew laughs from a few reporters when he cracked "Since you said you wanted to focus on facts, yesterday you and the President talked about how 'never in the history of America has the debt ceiling been used to extort a President.' You probably saw The Washington Post looked at that, looked at the facts and gave you four Pinocchios. So are you going to correct that today?" Carney and Henry went back and forth over Glenn Kessler's "Fact Check" for awhile, with Carney standing by his interpretation of the President's use of the term "extort." "There is no question that prior to 2011, there has never been a case where one party with one ideological agenda has threatened to default on the United States obligations for the first time in its history," Carney said. For what it's worth, Kessler, in an update to his fact check, appeared to concede Carney's point, but maintained that it differed from the President's.- published: 20 Sep 2013

Jay Carney Loses It At Briefing, Mocks Reporter
White House Press Secretary Jay Carney has become increasingly animated and explicit in his pushback against some reporters, and at Monday's daily briefing that trend continued with a lively exchange in which Carney openly mocked and mimicked ABC News Chief White House Correspondent Jonathan Karl. Along with Fox News' Ed Henry, Karl has been on the receiving end of some vociferous pushback from Carney these past months, but that dynamic evolved into open contempt Monday, as Karl attempted to catch President Obama in an inconsistency regarding Healthcare.gov, the troubled portal for Obamacare. Several weeks ago, the President spoke about the law, and Karl keyed in on this passage: We've also added more staff to the call centers where you can apply for insurance over the phone. Those are already — they've been working. But a lot of people have decided first to go to the website. But keep in mind, these call centers are already up and running. And you can get your questions answered by real people, 24 hours a day, in 150 different languages. The phone number for these call centers is 1-800-318-2596. I want to repeat that — 1-800-318-2596. Wait times have averaged less than one minute so far on the call centers, although I admit that the wait times probably might go up a little bit now that I've read the number out loud on national television. (Laughter.) But the point is the call centers are available. You can talk to somebody directly and they can walk you through the application process. And I guarantee you, if one thing is worth the wait, it's the safety and security of health care that you can afford, or the amount of money that you can save by buying health insurance through the marketplaces. (Applause.) Once you get on the phone with a trained representative, it usually takes about 25 minutes for an individual to apply for coverage, about 45 minutes for a family. Once you apply for coverage, you will be contacted by email or postal mail about your coverage status. But you don't have to just go through the phone. You can also apply in person with the help of local navigators --- these are people specially trained to help you sign up for health care, and they exist all across the country, or you can go to community health centers and hospitals. Just visit LocalHelp.HealthCare.gov to find out where in your area you can get help and apply for insurance in person. Karl asked if the President knew, as newly-released memos state, that phone and paper applications would face the same challenges as online applications when he made that statement. "Jon, as you know," Carney began, "the answer is yes, as was reported widely at the time. The whole point is that CMS is processing paper applications through Healthcare.gov, but it bypasses the need to create an account, creating an account was what led to the bulk of issues for users in the initial days." He added that "In terms of the user experience, the whole point was to alleviate the frustration that so many Americans were having online." "I know it's spoken in tones of dramatic revelation," Carney continued, "but it was a known fact at the time. We never pretended otherwise." "But Jay," Karl began. "That'd be that tone I was talking about," Carney cracked. Karl soldiered on, punching certain words for emphasis. "I'm going to go back to what the President said, he said you can bypass the website, and apply by phone or in person, and it could be done in 25 minutes, but these memos say that 'at the end of the day, we are all stuck in the same queue, we all have to go through the same portal.'" Carney responded by mimicking Karl's diction and mannerisms, saying, "Jon, I get it, but the person who calls isn't the one who continues to wait after the paper application is filled." "Your mocking is entertaining," Karl said, "but the President said you can apply within 25 minutes, that's not true." Karl and Carney continued to argue over what appears to be a distinction between the words "enrollment" and "application." As Karl stated, a completed enrollment would have to go through Healthcare.gov no matter how it was submitted, while Carney argued that by using means other than the website to submit the application and begin the enrollment process, users were spared the time and difficulty of the website. Throughout the rest of their exchange, Carney continued to jab at Karl over the line of questioning, telling him, "You can have this soliloquy by yourself," and concluding "I think everybody else here understands what I'm saying. I'm sorry I can't say the same for you."- published: 05 Nov 2013
