Michael Burgess: ‘Almost Untenable’ To Not Get Rid ObamaCare

RUSH EXCERPT:
BURGESS: "First off, the CBO’s numbers, they do okay when predicting costs and expenditures and taxes. This is an observation. They’re less reliable predicting human behavior. They were not that great on the projections of Part B Medicare expansion that occurred during my first term here. They certainly weren’t great on the projections on the Affordable Care Act. Look, they said 20 million people are going to be covered under ObamaCare, but there’s 10 million people who say I’ll pay the penalty or seek a waiver from the mandate. When I look at those numbers what I see is that without the individual mandate, if you’re not forcing people to buy this crummy insurance, they’re not going to buy it. But we have a larger obligation, and, look, honestly we ran in 2010, in 2014, in 2016 on this very issue, getting rid of what the Obama Administration had left us with in our health care system. And from a political standpoint, it’s almost untenable not to do something."
