Republicans Switch Tactics on Health Care Law

“Emboldened by the intense public criticism surrounding the rollout of the online insurance exchange, Republicans in Congress are refocusing their efforts from denying funds for the health care law to investigating it,” the New York Times reports.

“In changing tactics, Republicans hope to tamp down the continuing public criticism of their previously fruitless attack on the Affordable Care Act, one that led to a 16-day government shutdown, by focusing on the problems with the law that they say they have warned the nation about, unheeded, for three years.”

Politico: “Two different tactics are on display: In the House, the approach is to be meek; in the Senate, it’s to be muscular.”
