Sen. Claire McCaskill on Friday morning admitted that, while she still thinks the benefits of the recently signed health-care reform legislation will eventually be realized, Democrats misled the public as to just how quickly those benefits will take effect.
“The side on which I’m on, that voted for the bill, probably is overpromising, [has] not been clear enough about the fact that this is going to be an incremental approach over time, and the benefits aren’t going to be felt by most Americans immediately,” McCaskill said on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe.”
McCaskill then took a shot at her Republican colleagues.
“Chicken little is running the Republican party right now, and when the sky doesn’t fall then all those independent voters out there go, ‘Gosh, they sure told us it was going to be terrible and this isn’t so bad,” she said.
