Obamacare will help, not hurt, Democratic senators in the 2014 elections, despite the websites troubled rollout, Sen. Bob Menendez (D-N.J.) said during Sundays episode of Face the Nation on CBS.
I think that senators are going to be in a great position to highlight the benefits of Obamacare, he said.
Senators running for reelection can point to the fact that President Obamas healthcare plan helps to eliminate some of the greatest evils of the countrys previous healthcare system, he said.
The fact that so many people are trying to access the healthcare shopping website shows that the underlying product is critically important, Menendez added.
Menendez compared the Obamacare website problems to a surge of shoppers, eager to purchase a product, struggling to all fit in a stores front door.
After recent improvements, it sounds like the front door has been opened successfully, he said.
Sen. Bob Corker, also a guest on Sundays Face the Nation, was critical of the Presidents healthcare plan, calling it just an amalgamation of legislation.
The overall system, like the websites rollout, is chaotic, he said.
I dont know how you fix a program that was put together this way.
Corker said he receives calls from concerned constituents who are worried about losing their health insurance without having access to new plans.
As people enroll, I think theres going to be a lot of negative surprises, he said, including about the availability of healthcare plans.
If the Dems can pull off enough voter fraud to win in 2014, they’ll declare it a validation of Obamacare.
Hard to believe an Elite from the Senate can be so delusional!
Well our 29 year old son lost his policy and the cancellation letter said it was due to ACA
Liberalism is a mental disorder
So far the only Republican health care plan I’ve see is Romneycare in Mass.
I tried since Oct 1 to help our son find a new policy. He doesn’t need birth control pills, mammograms - he is a dude. He can’t use pediatric vision and dental - he is over 18. But the new ACA individual policies MUST contain all that plus maternity care. On an Individual Policy he cannot use that! And they jacked up the price and the deductible.
AMEN
Now I know what Zero is giving to the Dem party, that stuff he has been smoking and it isn’t tobacco.
There is no amount of smoke they can blow up the public ass, there is no amount of protection from the MSM can cover for their precious Marxist party, that is gonna save them. People are feeling the impact in the real world, and no lies can make the reality go away.
Menendez commercial when he was running depicted him in an urban playground with black and latino children and he said “ I live not far from here”.......... sure you do.
Please, Dems, stake your careers entirely on 0bamaCare.
The website is the least of what is wrong with Obamacare, and it is a false narrative to suggest that fixing the website will at all be a fix for Obamacare.
cures 'greatest evils' of old system
And what were those? Higher capacity to care for patients that this law is causing to disappear? People not losing their health insurance plans by the millions (which were better quality and lower cost than the ones offered by Obamacare)? Etc.?
How many socialist insurance plans do you expect the Republicans to come up with?
Yes...and the Dems’ argument for that is embarrassingly stupid - saying that they need him to pay for that stuff to be part of the “risk pool” - a risk pool he has no part of because he has no risk of those things. Their argument makes as much sense as saying people who aren’t getting married should be forced to purchase wedding insurance for the same reason.
