Obamacare Causing More Liberal Angst

YGNetwork-MorningBuzz2

Happy Tuesday folks,

It looks like Obamacare is even causing frustration for liberals in Congress.

Justin Sink, Amie Parnes and Mike Lillis of The Hill recently wrote that President Obama and his liberal allies in Congress are having a hard time getting on the same page because of “the bumbled rollout of Obamacare.”

It should be no surprise here that even more liberals are coming to grips with the fact that Obamacare is not working for Americans.

As you may recall, a January poll of congressional aides conducted by the Congressional Management Foundation revealed that Hill staffers are worried about the disastrous law (keep in mind, the majority of respondents worked for liberal members of Congress). The staffers were concerned about several elements of Obamacare, including:

  • 95 percent of staffers say “they are concerned about benefit changes under the health care law”

  • 86 percent are “anxious about the financial hit”

  • 79 percent are worried about access to healthcare.

Liberals can’t focus on their agenda because the distraction of Obamacare is hanging over their heads.

As a result, conservatives have a great opportunity to show the American people what smart policy looks like.

Too many Americans have suffered under the leadership of President Obama, Senate Majority Leader Reid, and House Minority Leader Pelosi. From a healthcare law that doesn’t work, to an economic policy that isn’t helping America get back on its feet, the liberal answer isn’t helping the middle class.

Seize the day.
