Bret Baier: ObamaCare Helping Republicans

Bret Baier, Fox & Friends Hosts: Obamacare Shifting Political Winds Towards GOP (Mediaite)

The hosts of Fox & Friends and Special Report anchor Bret Baier identified a “tough political spot” for Democrats in the problematic implementation of the Affordable Care Act. Baier noted that Democratic officeholders are currently abandoning the White House and introducing plans that would mitigate the negative impact of the ACA while political analysts are projecting that Democrats up for election on Tuesday are slipping in the polls over this issue.

Baier began by identifying new problems with the implementation of the law that have only been uncovered over the weekend. For instance, Baier reported that the paper and telephone applications processes set up for applicants to sign up for Obamacare were merely a “delaying tactic” because any information collected still has to be uploaded into the faulty health insurance exchanges website.

“This is why this story probably has a lot of legs beyond just a few days, even a couple of weeks,” Baier said.
