Polling shows two-thirds to three-quarters of
North Carolinians expressing serious dissatisfaction with ObamaCare. The
North Carolina General Assembly has voted to refuse federal money earmarked for
funding health insurance exchanges – a key component of ObamaCare. There
is clear evidence that fear and uncertainty about the law is slowing the
economic recovery and causing businesses to put off hiring decisions.
Yet. both of North Carolina’s senators — Kay Hagan (D) and Richard Burr
(R) — are sitting on the sidelines in DC while others lead a fight to defund this looming
bureaucratic train wreck.
Kay Hagan was a proud cheerleader for ObamaCare – taking great pains to tells us all how good it is
going to be for us. Burr has described the fight to defund ObamaCare as “the dumbest
idea.”
Dr. Greg Brannon, a GOP candidate for US Senate in
2014, told roughly 100 supporters at a gathering in Moore County Friday night
that Burr and Hagan were failing in their roles as ”ambassadors” for the
people of North Carolina by refusing to join an effort,
led by Utah senator Mike Lee (R), to cut funding for ObamaCare out
of any continuing resolution that may be passed to keep the federal government
running through the end of September:
“Party
loyalty — loyalty to your caucus leaders — should have nothing to do with your
position on this legislation. The rule of law should be the main concern
here. There is nothing in The Constitution that empowers the federal
government to sink its claws into our health care system and intrude into our
lives like this. Our leaders in DC should be deferring to The Constitution,
looking at the damage this bill is already doing to our economy and our
freedom, and listening to the people back home. Kay Hagan and Richard
Burr need to do the right thing for the people of North Carolina and sign on to
Senator Lee’s effort to pull ObamaCare funding.”
