Fleming Comments on Repeal of ObamaCare

Statement

Congressman John Fleming, M.D. released the following statement today after the House of Representatives voted to repeal the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, also known as ObamaCare.

"Last year when ObamaCare was passed, the President and Democrats in Congress raised all sorts of claims that it would lower insurance premiums, increase health care access and lower costs. Contrary to these claims, as this law continues to be implemented, premiums have risen, health insurance options have declined, and Medicare and Medicaid are facing significant physician shortages.

"Additionally, at a time when nearly one out of 10 Americans is out of work, ObamaCare is imposing half a trillion dollars in tax increases on families and small businesses.

"Americans understand this bill is a grab on their liberty, and they sent Washington that message loud and clear in November. Today, Republicans kept their promise to the American people to repeal this failed legislation which is a crucial first step toward restoring health care liberty to ALL Americans."
