Representative Peter Roskam, R-IL., introduced legislation that would create a “special inspector general for monitoring the Affordable Care Act, or SIGMA.” Since the implementation of the HealthCare.gov website nearly two years ago, the program has had reports of cost overruns, increased prices, and lost work hours.

The bill has support from Tim Murphy, R-PA, Tom Cole, R-OK, Tom Marino R-PA, and Jim Jordan, R-OH.
