Merkley, Feinstein Back Landrieu's Bill To Unwind Obamacare Market Reforms

TPM reports:

It's one thing for embattled red state Democrats to support legislation that significantly disrupts Obamacare. It's a very different thing for bright-blue state Democrats to support such a bill.

That's what's happening. Sens. Jeff Merkley (D-OR) and Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) have signed on to legislation introduced by Sen. Mary Landrieu (D-LA) -- and supported by Sens. Kay Hagan (D-NC), Mark Pryor (D-AR) and Joe Manchin (D-WV) -- that weakens a core Obamacare reform to the insurance market. Merkley, Landrieu, Hagan and Pryor are up for re-election in 2014; Manchin and Feinstein won't face re-election until 2018.
