New York Democrat and Obamacare supporter Gary Ackerman is planning on introducing a series of bills to repeal the most popular provisions of the health care reform law. The Hill reports:
“This will be the big chance for Republicans to do what they’ve vowed to do,” the 13-term member said. “These bills will be their chance to at long last restore liberty and repeal the evil monster they’ve dubbed ‘Obamacare.’ ”
Ackerman has begun circulating a letter to fellow lawmakers telling them to “Go ahead, make my day. Become a cosponsor.”
“The Affordable Care Act contains these and many other foolish protections for our constituents,” the letter states. “So, join other Members of Congress who want to deprive their constituents of these silly safeguards from the big insurance companies. You can cast your courageous vote on a series of SIX bills to do it. Feel free to call it the HIPA-CRIT Act when you explain your vote.”
The joke may be on Ackerman, though. As Jeffrey Anderson pointed out, Americans now support repealing Obamacare by 21 points.
