Stutzman: "House Republicans Voted to Save the American People from This Train Wreck"

Statement

Date: Sept. 20, 2013
Location: Washington, DC
Issues: Health Insurance Government Budget and Spending

U.S. Congressman Marlin Stutzman, the first House Republican to oppose the funding of ObamaCare in any continuing resolution, issued the following statement today after the House of Representatives passed legislation to fund the government and defund ObamaCare:

"With just eleven days until millions are forced onto ObamaCare's exchanges, House Republicans voted to save the American people from this train wreck. Over the past months, I've heard the stories of families struggling to pay soaring premiums, businesses dropping coverage, and workers cashing smaller paychecks. Today, we responded by passing practical legislation that defunds ObamaCare. By funding the government, we've taken a government shutdown off the table and stopped ObamaCare's severe impact--it's time for the Senate to side with the American people as well."
