So with the La Senate race a deadheat, and Cassidy pulling ahead in the latest polls,
( HuffPost Model Cassidy 47% - Landrieu 47%)
how is Mary now approaching Obamacare in La.?

Any change in tack from her December comments
quote:

Dec. 2013

We did not wake up one morning and declare this the law. The people of the United States declared this through us as their Representatives. If they do not like it, they can unelect us. Believe me, they will have a great chance because I am up for reelection right now. They will be able to do that.

I lost my insurance coverage because of Obamacare.

The group I was in decided it was too expensive to cover retirees so they cut us out to save money they could use to offset Obamacare mandates.

Miss Piggy will not get my vote.

how much were you paying for insurance before obamacare?

How much are the options now at healthcare.gov using the discount now instead of tax break later?

I'm going to go out on a limb here and suggest that she wasn't going to get your vote anyway.

Not registered in LA but I will do my best in NC to help Senator Kay Hagan find a new line of work.

900+ a month before, Blue Cross over 1100+ a month now.

I can't qualify for a govt. subsidy, I make too much. I didn't even both with all that.

Besides, I'm not counting on the govt. for my health insurance.

Why would I vote for her, she went against the majority of Louisianans and voted with her party for Obamacare, but we all knew she was a rank and file Dem who is part of the DC beltway crowd.

You don't get to be a committee chairman by bucking the party.

IIRC I pay about $142 each month for my work insurance. Going on healthcare.gov my cheapest plan is 3x that and I qualify for a whopping $14/month subsidy.

My pay is strictly middle class ($45k/yr). Obamacare is hitting us harder than anyone else. This President has often extolled the virtues of increasing the middle class, but his signature legislation is doing exactly the opposite.

There's no sense in running from your record, which only makes a politician less appealing IMO. I wish more politicians were like her. Do you remember how Mitt Romney spent all of 2012 running from Romneycare and how Hillary spent all of 2008 blaming her Iraq war vote on W tricking her?

The country is pretty much split down the middle. They cannot understand how putting a law into place that does not include the other halves thoughts would be a disaster? The democrats really are idiots. It was 100% partisan.
