Americans: Failures of Obamacare Are All Your Fault (Kay Hagan RAT-period NC out of her depth)

For her part, Hagan has offered a prominent megaphone for this ludicrous stance. For weeks now, the Greensboro Democrat and various staff members have tried to distance themselves from the real-world consequences of Obamacare. In November, she started blaming insurance companies for continuing to provide “noncompliant” coverage to their customers. (Hagan is up for re-election in 2014, if you didn’t know.)

Hagan hosted a Nov. 12 conference call with reporters to answer questions about Obamacare’s disastrous rollout. The event went so badly even liberal Washington Post columnist Dana Milbank wrote a recap that made Hagan seem out of her depth. “[T]he Q&A session was so painful that the senator should qualify for trauma coverage under the Affordable Care Act,” Milbank wrote.

If the senator dug a hole, Hagan spokeswoman Sadie Weiner jumped in and kept digging.

“In her capacity as a member of the HELP Committee, Senator Hagan was involved with that committee’s markup of the health care reform bill in the summer of 2009,” Weiner told the News & Record of Greensboro after the conference call. “Once insurance companies began disingenuously offering plans that they knew they would be canceling, it became clear that more people would be getting cancellation letters,” Weiner said.

Translation: Hagan was one of the architects of Obamacare, and she knew many consumers in the individual market would prefer policies that were less expensive than those satisfying the mandates of the law. And yet insurers kept offering them because people wanted to buy them. The nerve!

I don’t understand the referenced
article’s title based on my reading the
same article:

Either it’s Americans’ fault for
voting in 0Loser, or Democrats
fault Americans for wanting
a less expensive product.

Oh wait, it’s the insurance
companies’ fault for continuing
to offer a product that would
be canceled.

Wait.... So insurance companies are
the “Americans?”

Bungled!

The forum even had a concrete resolution, as C4CG held a straw poll in which the audience picked Brannon, a doctor with a practice in obstetrics and gynecology in Cary, as its favorite to run against Hagen and, as expected, Walker, the former pastor of worship and music at Lawndale Baptist Church in Greensboro, as its favorite to replace Coble. However, C4GC has had little success in endorsing winners.
