The unpopularity of the Affordable Healthcare Act, aka Obamacare, continues to take a negative toll on Democrat legislators running for re-election in this year’s mid-term elections.
Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D) seems to be hedging on her assertion that Democrats will definitely run on Obamacare, and not run away from the controversial healthcare law.During a Christian Science Monitor breakfast in Washington, D.C., Congresswoman Wasserman Schultz said that Americans are not so concerned about Obamacare, as they are about jobs and the economy.
“When I go home, and I’ll broaden it out to colleagues who I’ve spoken to, the Affordable Care Act is not the first thing that people in a town hall meeting are asking about… “They’re asking about investing in education, focusing on continuing to create jobs, making sure that we can make housing more affordable — the bread and butter, kitchen table issues that will add to the confidence that Americans have that this economy is continuing to improve.”-Politico

Wasserman Schultz then added that incumbent Democrat members of Congress are free to decide which issues, including Obamacare, they would need to focus on in their respective re-election campaigns.
Is Wasserman Schultz continuing to back away from her initial claim that Democrats would in fact run, and win on Obamacare?“Every member has to decide on the prime issues in their election,” she said. “I know the White House is comfortable with members making those decisions.”-Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D)
Just this past January, the congresswoman stated that she wasn’t going to “confidently predict” victory for Democrats.
