Marathon Pundit: McConnell on ObamaCare: Americans don’t want another partisan, back-room health care deal

Regarding his plan for so-called health care reform, President Obama reminds me of a high school boy who repeatedly asks a girl out for a date--and is turned down. After a half-dozen times or so, the kid gets the message and moves on.

But The Chosen One is deaf in regards to the uproar surrounding ObamaCare.

Meanwhile, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell issued this statement about the the Democrats' seemingly eternal drive to wreck one-sixth of the economy.

It's disappointing that Democrats in Washington either aren't listening, or are completely ignoring what Americans across the country have been saying. Our constituents don't want yet another partisan, back-room bill that slashes Medicare for our seniors, raises a half-trillion dollars in new taxes, fines them if they don't buy the right insurance and further expands the role of government in their personal decisions.

Republicans will continue to offer the kind of step-by-step reforms to lower costs that our constituents have been asking for in the hundreds of town halls and constituent meetings we have had across the country. But the longer Washington sticks with its failed approach to health care, the longer Americans have to wait for the real, step-by-step reforms that will actually lower costs and lead to a better system. That's what Americans have wanted all along.
