Weekly GOP Address from Mitch McConnell on ObamaCare

On the day after the second anniversary of the ObamaCare bill, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell delivers today's Weekly GOP Address.


Here's a bit of what the Kentuckian says in his speech:
Yet rather than solving the most pressing problems in the old system, the Democrats' partisan health care law has made many of those problems far worse. Costs and premiums are rising, Medicare has been raided, states now struggle to keep pace with even costlier federal mandates than before, and the economy is being sapped as new mandates hold back employers from creating new jobs. What's more, Americans continue to oppose Obamacare in large numbers. A recent USA Today/Gallup poll showed that 72 percent of Americans, including most Democrats, believe the government mandate to buy health insurance violates the Constitution. This, along with a growing list of unintended consequences and broken promises, are causing many of its original supporters to take another look.
McConnell favors repeal of ObamaCare and replacing it "with commonsense, step-by-step reforms that lower costs and that Americans support."
