Ami Bera Is In A Tight Spot On Obamacare

May 5, 2016

Ami Bera is in a tight spot. Recent surveys show Obamacare is growing more unpopular, driven in part by a liberal base fired up by Bernie Sanders that wants to go even further, while Democrats simultaneously face a possible November surprise when health care premiums are expected to skyrocket. Bera has long stood by the law, having voted against repealing it and many specific fixes.

Additionally, Bera was an early endorser of Hillary Clinton, who has fully embraced Obamacare and the more than $700 billion in Medicare cuts that come with it. While Bera may be happy to align himself with the creator of HillaryCare, 7th District voters will undoubtedly feel different in November.

NRCC Comment: “Instead of standing with hardworking Sacramento families, Ami Bera has chosen to stand with Hillary Clinton and defend the disaster of Obamacare. While Bera may be happy to align himself with the creator of HillaryCare, 7th District voters will undoubtedly feel different in November.” – NRCC Spokesman Zach Hunter
