Cummings: ObamaCare like Mandela’s fight against apartheid

The Hill reports:

Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-Md.) on Thursday likened the political fight to implement the Affordable Care Act to the plight of Nelson Mandela, who fought against apartheid in South Africa.

Cummings attended Mandela’s memorial service in South Africa this week and said the connection occurred to him on the 20-hour flight home.

“It was an inspirational trip because I had the opportunity to reflect on the amazing changes that one individual, working with determination over a lifetime, can bring to millions of others,” Cummings said, according to prepared remarks released ahead of a House Oversight Committee hearing on "ObamaCare’s Impact on Premiums and Provider Networks."

Who knew losing your health insurance and paying higher premiums had anything to do with apartheid?
