ObamaCare for thee but nor for me, huh Weiner?
Anthony Weiner was the one of the most vocal proponents of ObamaCare back when it was being debated on the floor of the House. So much so, that when the bill finally passed, he was given the Congressional equivalent of the “game ball.”
The Weiner, um, Congressman Weiner looks pretty proud of his accomplishments in that picture doesn’t he? Then why is he looking into getting a waiver from ObamaCare for NYC?
Rep. Anthony Weiner said Wednesday he was looking into how a health law waiver might work for New York City.
Weiner, who is likely to run for mayor of New York, said that because of the city’s special health care infrastructure, his office was looking into alternatives that might make more sense. Weiner is one of the health care law’s biggest supporters; during the debate leading up to reform, he was one of the last holdouts in Congress for the public option.
“The president said, ‘If you have better ideas that can accomplish the same thing, go for it,’” said Weiner. “I’m in the process now of trying to see if we can take [President Barack Obama] up on it in the city of New York, … and I’m taking a look at all of the money we spend in Medicaid and Medicare and maybe New York City can come up with a better plan.”
ObamaCare for thee but nor for me, huh Weiner?
Of course, Weiner just admitted that 1) ObamaCare
