Sasse Responds to President’s Obamacare ‘Fuss’

Lincoln, NE—Today, U.S. Senator Ben Sasse responded to President Obama who claimed yesterday that the "fuss" over Obamacare is because "a Democratic president named Barack Obama passed the law. That's just the truth."

"That’s just nonsense. There’s a ‘fuss’ about Obamacare because it’s a disastrous failure. There’s a ‘fuss’ because millions of families have already lost their plans and millions more will this year. There’s a ‘fuss’ because premiums have gone through the roof. There’s a ‘fuss’ because more than half of the CO-OPs failed and now big insurance companies are scrambling for the exit. There’s a ‘fuss’ because even Democrats know it’s ‘crazy.’ Obamacare’s problem isn’t the politics, Mr. President—it’s the facts."
