Pryor Still Backs ObamaCare
“We probably did get 80% of it right.”
Arkansas Democrat Sen. Mark Pryor is facing a tough re-election fight this year and he likely just made his battle even tougher. Pryor was asked, “Knowing now what you know now [about ObamaCare’s troubles], would you have voted for this back then?” Without missing a beat, he replied, “You know, I would have. Of course, I would want to see some changes back then, but I think on something like this, it’s big, it’s complicated, it’s difficult. If you get 80% of this right, you’ve really done something. We probably did get 80% of it right.” No, they got 100% of it wrong because health care is not the constitutional responsibility or prerogative of the federal government. It doesn’t matter if the website works or premiums went down – the fundamental basis for it is flawed. We just hope Pryor’s stubbornness means he’ll be packing his bags come November.
