It's refreshing when Democrats -- particularly those who voted in favor of Obamacare -- admit that the former president's health care bill is an abject failure. 

Minnesota Democrat Tim Walz confessed such truths last month during in public remarks made available on video this week. Walz noted that Obamacare has indeed failed his constituents "in a lot of ways." The Free Beacon summarizes: 

Walz, who voted in favor of Obamacare, is now running for governor in Minnesota. In a video from last month, Walz claimed that he went against the DNC by saying that he was not going to tout the party’s message on Obamacare as Democrats were under fire for the law.

“The DNC wanted the message to be the ACA [Affordable Care Act] is working fine and don’t talk about the warts,” Walz said. “I said I can’t do that because it’s failing my constituents in a lot of ways.”

Minnesota has been hit hard by Obamacare, with the state's health insurance markets said to be on the brink of collapse last year. State officials had already predicted back in September 2016 that insurance rates would rise anywhere from 50 percent to 67 percent.

In truth, most states have been unable to avoid the negative consequences of Obamacare. With insurers closing down every year and health premiums skyrocketing, it's more crucial than ever that the GOP make good on its promise to ensure its repeal and replacement.
