Alex Sink begs to differ.

As he outlined the Democrats’ “agenda for the middle class” on Wednesday, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) told a news conference that “in Nevada and around the country, we have people sitting at their kitchen tables or in their living rooms expecting us to do something to help them.”

Reid said the Democrats’ priorities “reflect the priorities of the middle class,” including “fairness and opportunity for all.” But what about Obamacare?

“So Obamacare — if you do a poll of anyone, that’s dropped way down in significance,” Reid said.

He insisted that the recent congressional election in Florida, won by a Republican who campaigned against Obamacare, had nothing to do with Obamacare: “That was a district that was very, very white and quite old. It’s a district that had been Republican for 60 years,” Reid said, ignoring the fact that voters there twice went for President Obama.

The below CBS article shows just how clueless Reid is about events in his own state.


Overseers of Nevada Health Link have called that state’s program a “full failure” and a “catastrophe.” Some officials have suggested dumping Xerox, which was awarded a $75 million contract to develop the system.

While Xerox remains on the job, a state board earlier this month approved up to $1.5 million to hire another tech firm, Deloitte Consulting, to assess the Xerox system and recommend fixes.

Last month Nevada officials cut their target enrollment from 118,000 to 50,000 and conceded that meeting even the lower goal would be a challenge. That drew the ire of board members, who lashed out about the thousands of people who will remain uninsured after Monday’s deadline.

“These are not numbers. These are people throughout the state who don’t have health insurance,” said Lynn Etkins, an attorney and vice chairwoman of the board overseeing the Silver State Health Insurance Exchange.

A week later, Nevada exchange executive director Jon Hager announced his resignation to pursue “new opportunities.”
