Heller walks tightrope on ObamaCare repeal

Sen. Dean Heller is trying to walk a fine line on ObamaCare ahead of his tough reelection race next year.
The Nevada Republican, considered the most vulnerable GOP senator in 2018, is under attack from both the right and the left, and is trying to stake out a middle ground.

Democrats are hammering him for his vote in favor of a scaled-down repeal bill, but his Republican primary challenger, Danny Tarkanian, argues that bill did not go far enough. He said Heller should have supported a more sweeping repeal, which Heller had rejected earlier in the debate.

Heller argues that he sought a balance with his actions.

The “skinny” repeal bill did not touch ObamaCare’s expansion of Medicaid, a critical issue in Nevada. The larger repeal bill could have had devastating consequences for his constituents, he said.
