McConnell Focuses On Overhauling Health Care Law
KENTUCKY....
Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell told Kentucky reporters in a conference call Wednesday the election was a referendum on President Barack Obama, the outgoing Democratic-led Congress and their "massive overreach." McConnell, who will lead a larger Republican minority when the next Congress convenes, says he'll push to repeal the health care overhaul passed by congressional Democrats. He called the health care law a "monstrosity," and says his first choice is to repeal and replace it, but, if that fails due to a lack of votes or a presidential veto, his next option is to undo the law "piece by piece."
