Republican U.S. Sen. Rand Paul is predicting that a revolt against Obamacare will pressure congressional Democrats in tough midterm fights into approving GOP-proposed changes to the controversial health insurance mandate.Turning America into Europe wasn't going to be easy. It would be too bad for ObamaCare supporters if a future President redefined "full time workers" as working 168 hours a week.
“I think the Democrats may well beg us for change because they’re getting slaughtered at the polls right now because they said if you like your doctor you can keep him or her and that wasn’t true,” Paul, a former ophthalmologist, told a conclave of eye doctors in Boston yesterday.
“The Democrats will look like they’re trying to do something to fix Obamacare,” he said.
He said Democrats may agree to change the 30-hour-a-week full-time mandate that has prompted some employers to drop workers down to part-time status. He also called for an expansion of health savings accounts, though he conceded it’s unlikely Republicans will ever be able to fully repeal Obamacare.
