Arkansas GOP Calls on Arkansas Democrats to Take Public Stand on Obamacare

“If Commissioner Bradford’s boss Gov. Beebe wants Obamacare in Arkansas, then he can have it – nothing stands in his way.”

Arkansas Voters Said NO
To Obama in 2008
Today, We Say
NO To ObamaCare

Little Rock, Ark. – Republican Party of Arkansas Communications Director Katherine Vasilos released the following statement in response to Arkansas Insurance Department Commissioner Jay Bradford announcing Friday that Arkansas will not move forward with implementing a health insurance exchange – a key component of Obamacare – despite support from the state Democratic Party:

“The reason we are faced with Obama care in the first place is because Arkansas Democrats supported the failed policies of President Barack Obama. It’s irresponsible for the Democratic Party of Arkansas to advocate a key component to Obamacare when the law is pending before the Supreme Court and could be declared unconstitutional this summer. We simply do not need to spend taxpayer money establishing Obamacare when there is still a question to whether it is legal.

“By refusing to join the lawsuit challenging Obamacare’s constitutionality, Governor Mike Beebe and Attorney General Dustin McDaniel have already given the nod of approval to President Barack Obama. If Commissioner Bradford’s boss Gov. Beebe wants Obamacare in Arkansas, then he can have it – nothing stands in his way.

“Today, the state Republican Party calls on every Democratic legislator to take a position on Obamacare. Legislative Republicans are clear in their opposition to the President’s job-killing health care law. The Democratic Party of Arkansas needs to stop hiding, and start telling the people of Arkansas exactly how they stand.”
