Will Ron Barber Join Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid At Ceremony Marking Launch Of ObamaCare?
WASHINGTON – With ObamaCare’s exchanges now upon us, Washington Democrats are taking a moment to celebrate the higher premiums, lost jobs, and shrinking wages with a ceremony on Capitol Hill.
The National Republican Congressional Committee is expecting to see Ron Barber there as well. Barber has repeatedly supported the law that is proving to be the “train wreck” Americans all knew it to be. It’s only fitting that he celebrate with Nancy Pelosi and Washington Democrats.

Forty-Four Percent Of Americans Say The President’s Healthcare Law Is A “Bad Idea.” “Forty-four percent of respondents call the health-care law a bad idea, while 31 percent believe it’s a good idea — virtually unchanged from July’s NBC/WSJ survey. By a 45 percent to 23 percent margin, Americans say it will have a negative impact on the country’s health-care system rather than a positive one.” (Mark Murray, “Poll: Obamacare Remains Highly Unpopular As Implementation Looms,” NBC News, 9/15/13)
