"SNIP.....

Arizona gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake called for repealing the Affordable Care Act at a campaign event on Monday, bringing up an issue all but forgotten by her Republican Party.

“We need a red wave, and we need to overturn Obamacare and come up with something better,” Lake said at a campaign event in Scottsdale. Her comments drew no audible reaction from the crowd.

“They were going to do that, remember? And one of our old Arizona senators went in late at night and gave the old thumbs down. We’ll never forget that,” she added, referring to the late Republican Sen. John McCain’s vote against repealing the law.

Most Republicans have abandoned their decade-long quest to repeal the Affordable Care Act, otherwise known as Obamacare. None of the GOP’s Senate candidates are running on overturning the law, nor have they spoken about it on the campaign trail.

......SNIP"

1. Yeah right, Kari....

Keep dreaming.

We are still waiting for that "beautiful Republican health care plan" that was to come out in August of 2020.

[GreenWave]

2. So far all the pages are white (no ink)

That has them mesmerized.

[Mr.Bill]

5. It was supposed to be sitting on Trump's desk

on his first day in office for him to sign.

[Prof. Toru Tanaka]

13. I remember when Trump was campaigning in 2016,

he blustered about getting rid of Obamacare. When asked what it would be replaced with, all he had to say was "it'll be terrific!". Lake probably has no clue about what to replace the ACA with, either.

Arizona will be so screwed if that harridan gets elected governor. Can you imagine her dealing with the looming water crisis?

[ProudMNDemocrat]

18. She is NOT equipped to handle that.

Hoover Dam is threatened due to lower levels of the Colorado River and indirectly to Lake Mead.

Then there is Arizona.

[Prof. Toru Tanaka]

37. Oh, I realize that.

I also understand how each state is alloted a certain amount of the water, also.

But Arizona is going to have to start making some drastic cuts with what they are allotted like the other states involved. That is where I brought up Lake and her lack of sound judgment. She is nothing but a human bullhorn and flamethrower. In other words, just as stupid, callous, narcisstic and cruel as her hero, Donald Trump.

22. In 2 weeks

[Ohio Joe]

3. "and come up with something better," oh yeah? Like what?

We've been hearing this from repugs since ObamaCare was enacted and they have had nothing... Not. One. Ounce of a plan.

'Let Them Die' is the repug health care plan.

[ProudMNDemocrat]

6. Alan Grayson said this...

On the House floor...

"The Republican Health Care plan is this.....DON"T GET SICK! If you get sick, DIE QUICKLY!"

[Vogon_Glory]

35. +1!

Alan Grayson nailed it!

[wishstar]

4. GOP Senate candidate Ted Budd of NC still wants full repeal of ACA, so this article is slightly off

claiming that none of GOP Senate candidates are running on overturning the law when Ted Budd has been quite clear on his desire to just that.

[Rebl2]

7. That will

make some republicans mad. An acquaintance of mine that is republican, before she turned sixty-five, was on Obama care for several years and yes she knew it was O. care.

[temporary311]

8. Sadly, there are some who are ok with

ending Obamacare, just so long as they leave the ACA alone.

[Rebl2]

10. Isn't it

amazing they don’t realize ACA IS Obama care. Well on second thought, not surprising.

[Prof. Toru Tanaka]

14. Remember the picture of the older woman

with a sign telling the government to keep their hands off her Medicare?

These people are stupid and clueless as hell.

[Rebl2]

16. Oh definitely

She will vote Republican and not only will they take away her Medicare, they will get rid of her social security. That’s if she is still alive.

[grantcart]

26. In Kentucky 70% support Kentucky Care, 50% support the ACA and 30% support Obama Care

[Rebl2]

27. What is Kentucky Care?

Medicaid or ACA?

[grantcart]

28. ACA

[Emile]

36. Kentucky Care is Obama Care, ACA is Obama Care!

[gratuitous]

9. "Bring back denial of coverage for pre-existing conditions!"

Or have folks forgotten that that's one of the things the ACA was enacted to address? If Kari Lake is in love with anything, I'd say the sound of her own voice is at the top of the list. Someone might ask her about those pre-existeing conditions: Are the people of Arizona clamoring for that again?

[ProudMNDemocrat]

19. A female Trump pretty much.

And just as evil inside and out.

[GenThePerservering]

11. The reason why

"Her comments drew no audible reaction from the crowd. "

Is probably because at least half of them are ON Obamacare. They're probably mentally saying "Shut up, meat sack."

[Prof. Toru Tanaka]

15. Well, they COULD vote for Lake's opponent.

[applegrove]

20. LOL! I thought the same thing.

[Hortensis]

12. Oh, good! Nt

[TexasBushwhacker]

17. Come up with something better FIRST

It's not like they haven't had the time.

[Emile]

21. and tax cuts for billionaires! Jesus can't they come up with something new!

[AngryOldDem]

23. Not this shit again....

[Bristlecone]

24. And infrastructure plans in 2 weeks! And Benghazi! And her emails!

The hits just keep on coming.

[jalan48]

25. She's playing all the right wing hits.

[wryter2000]

34. From about 10 years ago nt

Nt

[Bengus81]

29. Go for it Kari. Guess she doesn't remember those Town Hall meetings in 2017/2018

If she thinks they were only attended by Dems she better check history.

[Ray Bruns]

30. Talk about beating a dead horse

[tulipsandroses]

31. Somebody forgot to tell her that is not a part of the playbook anymore

At least not to be said out loud. Their own voters don’t want to give up Obamacare. She forgot to stick to the current MAGA stolen election,CRT playbook.

[Turbineguy]

32. Kill more people!

[wryter2000]

33. This woman

Gives lobotomy a bad name.
