Democratic senators have a warning for the White House: Fix Obamacare’s problems or put Senate seats at risk next year.

In interviews, Democratic senators running in 2014, party elders and Senate leaders said the Obama administration must rescue the law from its rocky start before it emerges as a bigger political liability next year.

Democratic senators from red states — the most vulnerable incumbents up for reelection next year — voted for Obamacare and have been among the law’s biggest champions, believing that voters would embrace it once they experienced its benefits. They could end up being some of the law’s most prominent casualties if its unpopularity continues to grow.

If voters continue experiencing problems like a balky website, canceled policies and higher premiums, the fallout could be brutal next November, Democrats acknowledge.

How cheeky of the Dims (but not at all surprising) to demand that the administration fix a law that they — the Dims — created, drafted and passed, all on their own.

"Democratic senators from red states — the most vulnerable incumbents up for reelection next year — voted for Obamacare"

They not only voted for it - they rallied and endorsed it 100%.
They OWN it.

This is what happens when Democrats control the presidency, the senate, and the house.

Total bankruptcy, destruction, and mayhem.

At what point will the Democrats come to realize they were all used like toilet paper to pass the one law that will destroy each of them along with the entire country. They be no clean side on that TP now, just in time for the explosive diarrhea bout.

Amazing, from people who are losing their insurance
to the increases in premiums, higher deductibles,
all the hospitals and doctors opting out,
cancelled policies, and Senate Democrats
don’t realize they’ve been conned,
and this whole health care insurance overhaul
was impossible in the first place.

I can’t imagine democrats being worried in the least. If the whole thing collapses the media will go to work to sell America on the idea that republicans caused it to fail and it’s “hats off to Hillary” time.

It's political theater.

The Rats know that no matter how screwed up this law is obama will not stop this train wreck. obama doesn't care how much pain is inflicted on citizens, or how many people die. They will destroy the individual market and at the end of next year employer provided health insurance will begin to be destroyed.

The Rats want govt to control all the big decisions in our lives. We will be more compliant when we know dissent means you won't get the help you need.

I don't believe they were used; I believe they were all happy to comply.

But I sure do hope it destroys them all.

Fixing the website will only make it worse. The whole bill needs to be scrapped.

It can’t be fixed. That’s not possible. You can’t breed a hippopotamus to fly.
