One year ago today, Sen. Dean Heller doubled down on his decision to break the promise he’d made to protect Nevadans’ health care.
In a “stunning interview” with KLAS in Las Vegas, Heller said:
-
“I said I would not support any legislation that would take healthcare away” (but supported the skinny repeal and the Graham-Cassidy-Heller bill—both would have caused millions to lose health care).
-
“No one was more disappointed than myself” that the GOP’s attempts to repeal the Affordable Care Act failed
-
Said he hoped to find the 50th vote to support the “Heller-Graham-Cassidy bill” (despite concerns from Gov. Sandoval)
-
And even bragged about the role he played in the skinny repeal (which was rejected by a bipartisan majority in the Senate and Gov. Sandoval also opposed)
