McCarthy blames Democrats for delayed Obamacare repeal

House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., on Friday blamed Democrats for holding up the confirmation of President Trump’s top health official, which has led to delays in the effort to repeal Obamacare.

“Since Obamacare was passed and we know what is in it, it gives a great deal of power to the secretary [of Health and Human Services],” McCarthy said on the House floor Friday. “You have to have a secretary in place if you want to reform Obamacare because you gave so much power to the secretary.”
