GOP Sen. Ron Johnson Says No Way Health Care Vote Should Occur This Week
We dont have the courage in Washington, the honesty, to talk about this issue with real facts.
Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) continued criticizing the health care bill crafted by his own party and said Sunday there shouldnt be a floor vote on the legislation this week, as Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) is seeking.
Johnson, elected in 2010 running against Obamacare, also said on NBCs Meet The Press program that the debate on revising health care has not been based on facts. His concerns about the Senate bill ― written in secret and unveiled Thursday ― included that it could cause a rise in insurance premiums.
We dont have the courage in Washington, the honesty, to talk about this issue with real facts, he said. Theres no way we should be voting on [the bill] this next week, no way,
Asked whether he would work to delay a vote, Johnson said, I have a hard time believing Wisconsin constituents or even myself will have enough time to properly evaluate this for me to vote for motion to proceed.
