Brown Awkwardly Finds Some Like Obamacare

March 20, 2014 · 10:32 am ET · Leave a Comment

Huffington Post: “As former Sen. Scott Brown barnstorms through New Hampshire in a likely prelude to another Senate run, he has dusted off a familiar playbook. Condemnation of Obamacare has been front and center of his pitch, much like it was in 2010 when he unexpectedly won a race to take over the late Ted Kennedy’s Senate seat. But times are different now. The law is no longer some theoretical set of reforms, but is being implemented with varying degrees of success and failure.”

“Brown found that out on Saturday, when he stopped by the home of Herb Richardson, a Republican state representative. Sitting in Richardson’s home, Brown called Obamacare a ‘monstrosity’ that members of Congress didn’t even bother to read before they passed. At that point, Richardson chimed in to explain that the law had been a ‘financial lifesaver’ for him and his wife.”
