Jilka endorses ObamaCare

Democrat Alan Jilka has appeared to take steps to endorse ObamaCare.

On his website, jilkaforcongress.com, Jilka has a large graphic up titled, "Healthcare Reform: Get the Facts." When you click on it, it opens a new window with information that seems to be parroted from the AARP, but on a Jilka for Congress website format.
"Starting this year, healthcare reform improves the lives of hundreds of thousands of Kansans. The American Associastion for Retired People (AARP) fully supports healthcare reform."
Now if that isn't an endorsement of ObamaCare, then I don't know what is.

In a recent article in the Liberal High Plains Leader, Jilka told the audience that he didn't want to repeal ObamaCare, but fix it. However it looks as though his website is telling a different story.
"According to AARP, the reform will strengthen Medicare, make health insurance more affordable, and makes discriminatory insurance a thing of the past."
This seems to be the glowing endorsement of AARP for ObamaCare just before it passed. One can only come to the conclusion that Jilka also agrees with the AARP's position 100% since it's plastered all over his website.

It is interesting to note that there is a second page regarding healthcare on Jilka's website, but you can't get to it via his big graphic. This second page makes no mention of ObamaCare or Jilka's view of what should be done with it.

I've put two graphics (here and here) of Jilka's homepage and AARP endorsement of ObamaCare. I have a feeling they will probably be taken down soon.
