Rubio on ObamaCare: By No Means Should We Be Exploring Ways To Fix this Law

‘This bill really can’t be saved’

Rubio on ObamaCare: By No Means Should We Be Exploring Ways To Fix this Law (RealClearPolitics)

HUGH HEWITT, HOST: Joined now by Florida Senator Marco Rubio. Senator Rubio, welcome back, always a pleasure to speak with you.

SEN. MARCO RUBIO (R-FL): My pleasure. Thanks for having me back.

HEWITT: Some of your Senate Democratic colleagues have figured out that Obamacare is a disaster, and they want to fix it with some patches. Should Senate Republicans help Senators Landrieu, Pryor and Hagan save their seats by signing onto a short-term fix?

RUBIO: You know, I don’t think their solutions are even a short-term fix. You know, I think what’s becoming apparent every day increasingly, and tragically in the lives of many Americans, is the impact this is having on real people, and how this bill really can’t be saved. I mean, at the end of the day, the system was never going to work, and it’s certainly not going to work now. And our biggest regret at this point needs to be how disruptive this is to the American economy and to the aspirations of people that are just trying to get ahead.
