If you visit his website today, you'll see that Reyes wrote on 6/28 that the law was a bad law but it was "constitutional." He even refers to it as a "train wreck."
Take a look:
In the original post, before he decided to describe himself as a "Rand Paul Republican," he started off the post with:
"Today is a great day for millions of Americans who have medical coverage that they would not otherwise have, were it not for The Affordable Care Act."Followed immediately with:
"I had initially held out hope that the Court would correctly rule that The Commerce Clause also granted Congress the authority to enact the individual mandate; however, based on the Court's recent rulings that ignored both logic and precedent (such as Citizens United) I'd realized that simply wasn't very likely to happen."
He even goes on to endorse a single-payer health care system:
"The fact is, Congress simply could have enacted a "medicare-for-all" type of system, but they chose not to."
"The removal of a "public option" from the law was an astounding give-away to the private insurance industry."He also says that Obamacare was "a step in the right direction" and was glad the Court ruled the way it did.
"As I've said in the past, this plan is not perfect. It is merely a step in the right direction, and the Court's ruling today, means we can continue to move in that direction."He even attacks Bobby Schilling for supporting repeal of Obamacare.
"My republican opponent says we need to repeal the entire plan, and replace it with something else, but he doesn't offer any specifics on that either. In fact, he even goes so far as to say that some of the provisions are good, and should be kept, but those provisions can't be paid for without the provision he mistakenly believes is unconstitutional."
Does he really think we are all this dumb?
