Pointing to a quadruple in enrollment last month compare to the October for the federal healthcare exchange website, Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius says to House Panel today people are reengaging with the site healthcare.gov. As NPR's David Welna explains Republicans on the panel remain dubious.
指出联邦医保网站上个月的注册人数是十月份的四倍，今天，美国卫生及公共服务部部长凯瑟琳·西贝柳斯在众议院委员会作证时表示，民众正在重新登陆联邦医保网站。据NPR新闻的大卫·威尔纳报道，该委员会的共和党人仍然持怀疑态度。
House Energy and Commerce Committee Chairman Fred Upton and Michigan Republican pressed Secretary Sebelius on the flawed October rollout of healthcare.gov.
众议院能源和商务委员会主席、密歇根州共和党人弗雷德·厄普顿用十月份上线的联邦医保网站的缺陷向西贝柳斯部长施压。
"Knowing what you know today you wouldn't start the launch on October 1st?"
“如果你要是掌握了你今天所知道的信息，你就不会在10月1日推出医保网站了吗？”
I would have probably done a slower launch, maybe with fewer people, and done some additional beta testing.
“我可能会慢些推出，可能会让较少的人参与，然后进行一些额外的数据测试。”
Sebelius who ignore Republican demand for her resignation says she wants some accountability.
西贝柳斯无视共和党人让她辞职的要求，她表示，她要有责任感。
"Now that the website is working more smoothly, I've determined it's the right time to begin a process to better understand the structural and managerial policies that led to the flawed launch."
“现在网站运转的越来越顺畅，我想现在是开始调查进程的合适时间，我们要更好地了解产生缺陷的结构管理政策。”

The Korean pilot told NTSB investigators that he fell very stressful, landing the Boeing 777 in San Francisco because the instrument landing system at the airport was not functioning and he was making a visual approach. The plane clipped the seawall at the edge of the runway with its landing gears spun around and burst into flames. Two passengers on board of jet were killed and the third was struck fatally by a rescue vehicle on the ground. The pilot at the controls of the plane was landing for the first time in San Francisco, the co-pilot told him four times the plane was descending too fast but the pilot failed to respond. It was the first fatal commercial plane crash in the US since 2009. Brian Naylor, NPR News, Washington.

House Republicans are signaling they will support on narrowly drawn budget deal announced yesterday by negotiators on Capitol Hill. Deal worked out between Republican representative Paul Ryan and Senate Democrat Patty Murray, replaced 63 billion dollars in what would be automatic federal budget cuts with 85 billion in spending cuts and revenue from new extended fees. Ryan says the agreements win for all sides.
众议院共和党表示，他们会支持昨天谈判代表在国会山达成的涵盖面较窄的预算协议。这份协议由共和党代表保罗·瑞安和参议院民主党帕蒂·穆雷共同完成，用850亿美元的减支措施和税收收入增额代替630亿美元的联邦全面自动减支计划。瑞安表示，这份协议对双方都有益。
"By having a budget agreement that does not raise taxes, that does reduce the deficit, and produces some certainty and prevents government shutdowns - we think is a good agreement."
“这份预算协议没有增加税收却减少了赤字，增加了确定性，又能避免政府关门。我们认为这是一份非常好的协议。”
House is said to plan to vote on the package before it adjourns for the year on Friday.
据悉，众议院将于周五，即正式休会之前就这份协议进行投票。
