Capito Votes to Delay Employer and Individual Mandates, Slams President Obama

Statement

Congresswoman Shelley Moore Capito (WV-02) released the following statement after voting to delay ObamaCare's employer and individual mandates.

"Not only did President Obama violate his own health care law when he announced that he will be giving businesses a temporary break from the job-killing employer mandate, but he left hardworking families out in the cold. Businesses aren't the only ones who are suffering under the president's "train wreck.' It is only fair to give the millions of Americans who could lose their health care coverage and get hit with rising costs a break as well.

"Without knowing what insurance options will be available to them or how much they will cost, Americans need more time to navigate the complexities of ObamaCare before getting hit with fines on January 1. With just a few months left before families are subjected to fines, the House took steps to buy them time and delay both the employer and individual mandates. These interim steps are crucial to our efforts to fully repeal this job-killing and disastrous law."
