Barrasso: The ‘Crisis Is Getting Worse; ObamaCare Is Collapsing Every Day’

‘We are down to one company providing insurance in Wyoming, the crisis has skyrocketed’

EXCERPT:

HUME: "Senator Barrasso, let me bring you in here. What do you say to Senator Durbin’s objections? That this is basically not really health care reform or ObamaCare repeal and replace. This is a — this is a big tax cut for rich people."
BARRASSO: "He's absolutely wrong. The crisis is getting worse. ObamaCare is collapsing every day. I was at a hospital yesterday in Casper, Wyoming, talking to doctors, nurses and patients. There’s an urgency to act. We are down to one company providing insurance in Wyoming, the prices has skyrocketed. That’s why we have to do something. And we need to do what the people are asking for, which is stabilize the insurance markets. Senator Durbin doesn’t want to talk about the fact that in Illinois, they are way down the number of people even selling insurance and prices are way up. That we want to eliminate the mandates that you have to buy a government-approved product, get rid of all of the taxes. But focus on the fact that this is about health care for people, many people and Wyoming lost it under ObamaCare. They had insurance they liked and they could afford. The Democrats said, 'Not good enough for us.' It was good enough for them, and they could afford it."
