A prominent House Republican acknowledged Friday that Obamacare is unlikely to be repealed.

“We need to look at reforming the exchanges,” Representative Cathy McMorris Rodgers of Washington State told the Spokane Spokesman-Review Thursday during a tour of eastern Washington.

McMorris Rodgers, a five-term congresswoman who delivered the GOP response to this year’s State of the Union Address, has been an important vote in previous attempts to repeal Obamacare. She is the chairwoman of the House Republican Conference and remains sharply critical of the unpopular health care law, which next year will begin penalizing Americans who are unable or unwilling to purchase health insurance.
