Now that former HP CEP Carly Fiorina is gaining in the polls, the media and others are beginning to dig through her closet for skeletons, and they’ve found a set of bones with Obamacare marked on them.
In case you didn’t catch it, she says she supports an individual mandate to force Americans to buy insurance.
From CNN:
“Now there is a requirement for people to take responsibility, which you know most people have insurance,” Cutter said. “So do you agree with the mandate idea? That is a Republican idea, came out of the Heritage Foundation, one of our co-hosts, Newt Gingrich, was behind it. And the ban on preexisting conditions? Do you agree with those two provisions?”
“I actually do agree with those two provisions,” Fiorina said. “And I think Obamacare remains an abomination, and let me tell you why. First of all, I think no one should be denied health care because of pre-existing conditions. And I think there are many more efficient ways we could have dealt with this other than Obamacare.”
Yeah, so that’s a problem.
She still calls Obamacare an “abomination,” but I think most conservatives would not like her position on the individual mandate.
