Wenstrup Talks Shutdown
Portsmouth Daily Times
“We’re just trying to sit down and have a conversation,” Wenstrup said. “What I get from my constituents, even those that may benefit from the Affordable Care Act, what they don’t like is that there are exemptions and waivers and special subsidies, especially for Congress. And so they have a problem with that. And we want to sit down and talk about those particular components. We’ll continue to find the things we disagree with and try to offer new solutions when it comes to health care in America. We should continue that. But on those particular issues, that seems to go against the grain of Americans, and they don’t like it and we don’t like it.”

“We’ve been pretty consistent on our side,” Wenstrup said. “We don’t want the government shut down. This is not good for anybody, but we also feel that we’re at a point in our history when we have to decide if we’re going to be a generation that ignores the rule of law and doesn’t go through the proper process. If you don’t like a law, change it. We have that ability, but it shouldn’t be that we just decide that we’re exempting people or giving special waivers.”
