We all remember the ‘cornhusker kickback’ from the debate on Obamacare and the fact that it resulted in Senator Ben Nelson<\/a> deciding not to run for re-election. The Democrats<\/a> chose Bob Kerrey to run for the Senate seat that Ben Nelson occupied.<\/p>\n

Yesterday Breitbart.com<\/a> posted a story about Bob Kerrey and some of the positions he has taken in his campaign for the Senate.<\/p>\n

The article reports some recent statements:<\/p>\n

Democratic Senate candidate Bob Kerrey said Thursday that he hates the employer mandate<\/a> in the Affordable Care Act<\/a> and that his own businesses might drop employee<\/a> insurance and pay the federal fine for doing so if the mandate goes into effect in 2014.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0Kerrey said wealthy Americans<\/a> pay their fair share in taxes. And he said President Barack Obama<\/a> made a big mistake by not following the recommendations of his own bipartisan budget deficit commission.<\/strong><\/p>\n

That doesn’t sound as if he is in agreement with the Obama campaign<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The article quotes additional comments:<\/p>\n

\u201cI hate the employer mandate,\u201d Kerrey said. \u201cI think it\u2019s going to have a counterproductive impact. We don\u2019t have any (insured employee) that costs us less than $7,000 (a year), and the fine\u2019s $2,000. We\u2019ll dump \u2019em off. We won\u2019t call it dumping, we\u2019ll say … \u2018Go get it from the exchange.\u2019\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

He said the employer mandate \u201cwill accelerate an already breaking-down employer-based system.\u201d That portion of the law should be repealed, he said.<\/strong><\/p>\n

What Bob Kerrey is saying makes sense. Why is it that other Democrats cannot recognize the logic in his statements? If Obamacare stands, we will see the private healthcare industry in America destroyed and the quality of healthcare in America decrease very quickly.<\/p>\n

As I have said before, please note that the nastiest parts of Obamacare go into effect after the election this year. We will begin to see the impact in the increased taxes we will all face in January 2013 and other negative things will take effect within the year.<\/p>\n

We need to repeal (and replace) Obamacare.<\/p>\n
