Reid says Republican criticisms of Obamacare are simply ‘jokes’

 

 

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid on Thursday said Republican complaints about President Obama’s unpopular health-care law are not valid criticisms, but rather “jokes.”
In a speech on the Senate floor Thursday, the Nevada Democrat didn’t address any of the GOP’s specific complaints about the law. But he playfully suggested that Republicans, in order to save time, just “number their one through 50 criticisms of Obamacare” and yell out a number when they want to reference a specific complaint.
“We’ve heard things so many times, we would immediately laugh because basically they’re jokes,” Reid said.
