Levin Statement in Response to Camp Subpoena of CMS Documents

WASHINGTON – Ways and Means Committee Ranking Member Sander Levin (D-MI) released the following statement in response to subpoenas issued by Chairman Camp:

"In response to Chairman Camp's November 1 subpoena threat, Administrator Marilyn Tavenner made clear that CMS wants to provide ‘reliable and accurate enrollment information,' and would provide that information by mid-November.

"Chairman Camp's subpoena to compel information that will be accurately available in two weeks is nothing more than a manifestation of how far Republicans will go to thwart implementation of the Affordable Care Act. Such a partisan subpoena request is contrary to the history and traditions of the Ways and Means Committee."

CMS Administrator Tavenner's letter to Chairman Camp is available here.
