Outgoing
Progressive Sen. and
fake
war hero Tom Harkin
is another Democrat with buyer's remorse for Obamacare. No, not
because it was an idea that America hates, didn't want, and a major
reason why Democrats got their asses kicked last month, and whose seat
will be filled by
conservative Joni Ernst.
Harkin
regrets not doing more to
demolish the health-insurance industry, says Ed
Morrissey.
Harkin
says in retrospect the Democratic-controlled Senate and House should
have enacted a single-payer healthcare system or a public option to
give the uninsured access to government-run health plans that compete
with private insurance companies.
“We had the votes in ’09. We had a huge majority in the House, we had
60 votes in the Senate,” he said.
He believes Congress should have enacted “single-payer right from the
get go or at least put a public option would have simplified a lot.”
