Republicans Struggling For Talking Points Now That Heathcare.Gov Is Working

Posted by | December 4, 2013 16:17 | Filed under: Politics Top Stories


After claiming since October 1 that a flawed website is “proof” that Obamacare is a a failure, Republicans are struggling to find another way to badmouth the law they opposed. This only shows that being anti-Obamacare is merely a political talking point, with no concern for what it does to help insure Americans.

[The website] no longer the preferred talking point. Instead, the GOP has become enamored with insurance cancellations that they say violate President Obama’s “if you like your health plan, you can keep it” promise and claims of rate shock. Boehner reinforced that shift at his most recent press conference.

“It’s not just a broken website,” he said Tuesday. “This bill is fundamentally flawed, causing people to lose the doctor of their choice, causing them to lose their health plan, and if that’s not enough, they have to pay more in premiums.”

House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-VA) echoed the same point moments later.

“While the White House wants to claim that HealthCare.gov is now working, we know that Obamacare is still plagued with problems,” he said. “This is not something that is helping Americans. It is harming people who need help most right now.”
