Sen. Dean Heller (R-NV) told the Washington Examiner that he believes Republican lawmakers made a “big mistake” by pushing to repeal the Affordable Care Act as their first big legislative move at the outset of the Trump administration.

Said Heller: “I don’t think we should have done it first. I think we should have done the economy first. We needed to get some wins. We should have done transportation and the economy first, and then done healthcare after. I think you would have seen a very different result on healthcare.”

1. OP should be corrected to Heller says GOP made 'Big Mistake' on Timing of Obamacare Repeal

He doesn't say repeal was a mistake, only the timing.

3. I don't rewrite published headlines. Take your recommendation to the author of the article...

5. Fair enough, but very bad headline

It has always bothered me that headlines are not written by the person who wrote the article.

2. TAKING AWAY Health Insurance to those who finally have it.....

Does not go over very well with people trying to obtain it. Which is why Health Care remains a Top Issue for people as costs for Insrance, Health Services, Medications rise by double digit percentage points since Republicans went on the war path to get rid of it.

People want coverage that is not going to rob their banks. 7 out of 10 Americans go BANKRUPT not due to spending, but for Medical Issues.

4. Heller voted for the repeal so he obviously supports it. The timing is irrelevant.
