Democrat Senator: ‘I will vote’ to Repeal Obamacare

DNC chair Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz promised that Democrats would run on Obamacare this year as they try to hold onto the Senate. Sen. Joe Manchin has other ideas, though. The West Virginia Democrat told a local group that Obamacare repeal is in the air.

“I will vote tomorrow to repeal [the Affordable Care Act], but I want to fix the problems in it,” Manchin told an audience.

Manchin has consistently criticized Obamacare as “more than a rollout problem.”

This is the first time he has come out for repeal, though, and he is the first sitting Democrat senator to suggest repealing President Obama’s signature law. As things stand right now, Democrats are likely to lose the Senate because of Obamacare.

Democrats are learning that they can earn applause from home audiences by claiming that they voted against Obamacare.

Manchin: ‘I Will Vote Tomorrow to Repeal’ Obamacare

A first Democratic senator has indicated he thinks it might be time to scrap Obamacare. While legislators should work to fix the law in the meantime, Senator Joe Manchin of West Virginia told Beckley’s Register Herald that he would support getting rid of the law entirely.

“I will vote tomorrow to repeal [the Affordable Care Act], but I want to fix the problems in it,” Manchin told an audience.

He described the law as a product that the government has failed to “sell.” Manchin made similar comments in November when he said Obamacare was “more than a rollout problem — there is a product problem.”

In July, before the law’s troubled rollout, Manchin said that he thought it needed more than just minor tweaks. “This is not a trim job,” he said of the needed changes to the bill. “This is a pretty good haircut that has to be looked upon.”
