Pompeo to Obamacare author: Attacking law’s implementation won’t save you in 2014

Sen. Max Baucus, D-Mont., described Obamacare’s implementation as a “huge train wreck” yesterday, but a Republican lawmaker suggested today that such criticism of the law won’t help him avoid a voter backlash next year.

“I was shocked because you wrote this bill,” Rep. Mike Pompeo, R-Kan., wrote to Baucus today about his comments. “You drafted it, you twisted arms to get it passed, and, until now, you have lauded it as a model for all the world. Your attempts to pass the buck to President Obama’s team will not work, nor will they absolve you of responsibility for the harm that you have brought via this law.”
