She just said so again in last night’s debate.
Really.
The debate moderators even reminded Kirkpatrick that “next year is shaping up to be a challenging one for many in Arizona when it comes to health care” with just one Obamacare insurance option in 14 of the state’s 15 counties.
Here’s what they asked:
“You have called your vote for the Affordable Care Act (ACA) your proudest moment in Congress. Do you still hold on to that assessment considering what we’re seeing now with the ACA?””
Kirkpatrick’s response?
Yes.

As Arizona’s Capitol Media Services noted, “Arizona has been particularly hard hit by problems with the Affordable Care Act” and “Kirkpatrick acknowledged the problems with the plan.” But that didn’t stop her from again declaring Obamacare her proudest moment “even as the program is faced with fewer options for those eligible and sharply rising premiums.”
Just as Obamacare is a proving a disaster for Arizona’s middle class, so is Ann Kirkpatrick.
