Just Another Democrat Obamacare Lie - We Can Fix-It!

Democrats are covering their former lies about Obmacare with another massive Obamacare lie – they are claiming that they intend to “fix it.”

The Senate Democrats who support Obamacare simply cannot be believed when they claim they want to “fix it” because:

• They broke it.
• They told us we could keep our plans.
• The do-nothing Senate does nothing on health care.
• They often admit they love Obamacare as-is.

As evidence for not believing them, consider the Senate inaction on over 40 House-passed bills fixing the worst elements of the law and has passed no bills of its own. Even the handful of Democratic senators who have introduced bills (including Hagan, Begich, and Manchin) have exerted no real pressure on their leadership to schedule a vote. Moreover, adding a “copper plan” with even higher deductibles will appeal to exactly zero consumers and do nothing to fix the real problems millions of Americans are suffering.

Additionally, consider the compelling video evidence of the Democrats’ continued support for the law exactly as-is: President Obama’s enthusiastic “mission accomplished” type remarks at his Rose Garden presser, an exchange in which HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius was asked point blank in congressional testimony whether she would propose any legislative changes, and a recent television appearance in which DNC Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman-Schultz was unable to identify a single element of Obamacare that she would change.

Consider also the many past and ongoing statements of elected Obamacare supporters for proof of their actual support for the law as-is, as well as a growing number of House-passed bills to fix the worst elements of Obamacare on which the Senate refuses to act.

Why won’t the Senate act to restore the 40 hour workweek, as Senator Mark Begich, for instance, has specifically promised to do? Jimmy Hoffa, Jr. has said that Obamacare’s 30-hour workweek breaks the back of the middle class. The House-passed bipartisan bill to restore the workweek has not received so much as a committee hearing in the Senate.

Why won’t the Senate act to delay the individual mandate? The most widely hated aspect of the law, the mandate punishes millions of Americans for being unable or unwilling to buy into the Obamacare disaster. Many businesses have already received a two-year reprieve from their mandate, but individuals cannot get a Senate vote on even a one-year reprieve.

Why won’t the Senate act to protect taxpayers from being forced to bailout insurance companies? The House is expected to soon consider a no-bailouts bill and Senator Marco Rubio has been pressing for a Senate
 vote for six months. How can any Obamacare supporter credibly claim to want to “fix” Obamacare if they won’t close a loophole that could funnel billions of dollars directly from taxpayers to the biggest insurance companies?

Are we left to conclude that  that’s exactly what Obamacare supporters want? After all, the insurance industry wrote the law, lobbied for its passage, funds key liberal think tanks, and now enjoys a government-mandated customer base for its expensive products and direct bailout payments.

Millions of Americans are suffering the disastrous consequences of this law, and the same Senate Democrats who thwart any attempt to fix the worst elements of the law are out on the campaign trail claiming that, if reelected, they will fix it. It’s a slap in the face of their constituents and all of us. We can't allow this to go unchallenged.

Either Senate Democrats immediately undertake in earnest honest, open floor debate to reopen health care reform in a bipartisan fashion, or their “fix it” lies will be continue to be just another Obamacare lie.
The Truth: They Are not going to Fix IT!
