Cory Gardner doesnt like Obamacare.
Ask the Republican senator from Colorado about how to improve health care and the first response youre likely to hear is that President Barack Obamas signature 2010 Affordable Care Act needs to be repealed. Its destroying this country, he once said.
Ask Gardner for his plans to replace the law, however, and his response will probably be more about what hes against Democratic proposals for a public health insurance option or Medicare for All than what hes working toward.
Democrats want to replace the Affordable Care Act with socialized medicine, Gardner said in an interview. I dont want that.
But if Gardner and congressional Republicans have a better idea, they havent shared it.
President Donald Trump has spoken of coming legislation, but part of the problem has been GOP infighting over how to move forward. That killed the partys chance to unwind the Affordable Care Act in 2017, as theyd vowed to do for years, when Republicans took control of Congress and the White House. We havent kept our promise, Gardner said last year.
