Republican Congressman: GOP’s ‘Stop Obamacare’ Plan ‘Going Nowhere’

Posted by | September 30, 2013 20:58 | Filed under: Economy Politics


Congressman Peter King of New York, a man with his own presidential ambitions, has been quite critical of the way his party has been behaving lately. He knows their efforts to defund Obamacare are going nowhere.

King said he had 25 House Republicans who would oppose the latest plan, which would delay Obamacare’s individual mandate for a year and eliminate subsidies for Congress members and staff. If that’s true and House Democrats united against the plan, it likely wouldn’t have the votes to pass.

“This is going nowhere,” he told NRO. “If Obamacare is as bad as we say it’s going to be, then we should pick up a lot of seats in the next election and we should win the presidency in 2016. This idea of going through the side door to take something you lost through the front door — to me it’s wrong.”
