MARTIN: No, but actually it’s not good for the country when you have 12 percent to 15 percent of Americans who say they only support this bill. It is a shameful bill.

And I can stand here and listen to Senator Schumer talk about their plan — no, what your plan should be is going to those places, whether it is Mississippi, Alabama, Tennessee, West Virginia, saying no, this bill was passed for you. When people support the Affordable Care Act, but hate Obamacare, what they’re actually saying is we hate Obama but we love the Affordable Care Act. This bill is horrible. And what they should have done is sit with Democrats. You can not change one-sixth of the economy and ignore the other party.
