Dem Senator Chris Murphy: ObamaCare Is Failing Because of Trump

Dem Senator: Obamacare is Failing Because of Trump (Mediaite)

Scarborough got the ball rolling by raising the possibility that Mitch McConnell’s stalled partisan effort to repeal Obamacare may lead to bipartisanship.

“Do you think there is a possibility that peace may break out at some point?” Scarborough asked.

Murphy said yes — but in turn used his answer to make the extraordinary claim that Obamacare was failing because of Donald Trump.

“We’re been very clear that we would love nothing more than to sit down with Republicans and try to keep what’s working with the affordable care act and fix the parts that aren’t,” he said. “There’s an imperative to do that because insurance companies are pulling out of these markets. They’re raising rates because of the instability that the Trump administration has injected into the markets by refusing to commit to continuing to pay insurers and I think Democrats and Republicans can work to fix that.”
