That is what Michael Bennet admitted to the Grand Junction Daily Sentinel’s editorial board during a conversation that addressed high healthcare costs that are hurting Coloradans.
Michael Bennet literally admitted he doesn’t know how to help the people who elected him…
Despite Bennet’s feigned ignorance for how the problem came to be – he has always displayed a blind loyalty for the the root problem of soaring health care costs in recent years: Obamacare. Bennet’s support for the disastrous law runs so deep that he told Coloradans in 2009, “We should begin with a basic principle: if you have coverage and you like it, you can keep it…We will not take those choices away from you.”
As thousands of Coloradans are losing their health care and forced to find a new insurer in 2016, it’s clear Michael Bennet was simply parroting President Obama’s talking points.
While the headline of the Daily Sentinel‘s article was originally titled, “Sen Bennet knows our issues, has no answers,” it seems someone on Bennet’s staff must have taken issue with the honest headline. While the headline has changed, the original can still be seen within the page’s URL:
