What a hypocrite. I guess Weiner now sees what a sack of shit this legislation was, that he so passionately supported.
Rep. Anthony Weiner said Wednesday he was looking into how a health law waiver might work for New York City.
Weiner, who is likely to run for mayor of New York, said that because of the citys special health care infrastructure, his office was looking into alternatives that might make more sense. Weiner is one of the health care laws biggest supporters; during the debate leading up to reform, he was one of the last holdouts in Congress for the public option.
The president said, If you have better ideas that can accomplish the same thing, go for it, said Weiner. Im in the process now of trying to see if we can take [President Barack Obama] up on it in the city of New York, and Im taking a look at all of the money we spend in Medicaid and Medicare and maybe New York City can come up with a better plan.
