Duffy Statement on One Year Anniversary of Health Care Law

Statement

U.S.Congressman Sean Duffy (WI-07), a member of the Financial Services Committee and the Joint Economic Committee, released the following statement today, on the one year anniversary of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA), the health care law:

"A year ago, our nation took a step in the wrong direction--a step that placed the federal government and its massive bureaucracy between patients and their doctors. The biggest flaw of PPACA, which was rammed through Congress after closed-door meetings and sweetheart deals, is that it failed to address the real issue in health insurance: escalating costs.

"Earlier this year, the House of Representatives, led by a new majority, voted to repeal this government takeover of healthcare and set in motion the process to replace it with market-based, patient-centered, health care reform. I support this movement because I believe that we do need health care reform in this nation, but we need to pursue it in a way that will foster economic growth, lower health care costs through increased competition, and will increase access to adequate health care coverage."
