Manchin: Obama has ‘product problem’
Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) said Thursday the Obama administration faces more problems than just the rollout of ObamaCare.
“They have more than a rollout problem; there’s a product problem. We’ve got to make sure that the products are there. The market will determine that product,” he said on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe.”
{mosads}Manchin has been outspoken about the problems associated with the rollout. He’s repeatedly called for a delay in ObamaCare’s insurance mandate.
He and Sen. Mary Landrieu (D-La.) have co-sponsored a bill that would allow people to keep their current health insurance plans under ObamaCare — fulfilling the promise President Obama made to the public before Congress passed the law and in the run-up to his reelection.
Millions of people have already received cancellation notices, however, from their current insurers because of the law’s new regulations.
“We’ve all said things I think we’d like to take back,” Manchin said Thursday.
Former President Clinton, along with a number of lawmakers, has been pressuring Obama to honor his promise.
