| Subject: GOP Response To State Of The Union Missing Key Words: Repeal Obamacare Wed Jan 29, 2014 2:17 am | |
| ... Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah) made a clear call for undoing the Affordable Care Act in the tea party response to the State of the Union.
"When it comes to health care, we know the best way to repeal Obamacare is to deliver better solutions," Lee said.
Like McMorris-Rodgers', however, Lee's comments acknowledged that going backward isn't an option. "We can't just return to the old system. Health care policy used to give too much power to insurance companies. Obamacare now gives too much power to the government," Lee said.
Republican voters overwhelmingly oppose the Affordable Care Act, polls consistently have shown, and GOP lawmakers remain politically united against the law. But differences persist over how much emphasis to place on health care reform and how hard to fight its implementation. Efforts by tea party-affiliated lawmakers like Lee and Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) to defund Obamacare led to a government shutdown and pushed the nation to the brink of default last year against the stated wishes of GOP congressional leaders.
