Republicans will campaign on repealing Democrats’ healthcare bill this year, a member of the Senate GOP leadership said Monday.
Sen. Lamar Alexander (R-Tenn.), the third-ranking Senate Republican and chairman of the Senate Republican Conference, said his party would head into this year’s midterm elections with a pledge to repeal the healthcare bill before Congress.
“I think that’s exactly right,” Alexander said during an interview on Fox News when asked if Republicans would spend all of 2010 on a campaign to repeal healthcare reform.
Alexander said the healthcare bill “is going to define every Democratic candidate for every public office in November and Republicans are going to try to elect the majority who’ll come in here and try to provide a check and a balance to more taxes and more spending and more takeovers.”
