Dem lawmaker finds courage to publicly admit Obamacare is a failure, says he won’t lie for them

At least one Democratic lawmaker has the courage to state the obvious, that former President Barack Obama’s signature health care law has “failed.”

Rep. Tim Walz, D-Minn., acknowledged that he was going against the wishes of the Democratic National Committee in telling a town hall crowd the Affordable Care Act is not the success the party’s message claims.
