Tom Cotton refuses to state his position on the private option or own up to the fact that he has voted to repeal it and that his stated policy goals would kill the policy. If Cotton wins and the GOP takes the Senate, he will be under pressure to join Sen. Ted Cruz's crusade to take any any means necessary to repeal the Affordable Care Act and end the private option in Arkansas. With the health insurance of 200,000 Arkansans at stake, he can dodge the issue no more.
