Today, Congressman Bill Cassidy, M.D. gave the following statement in response to the President's announcement that Americans who lost their health insurance plans can purchase catastrophic coverage for one year:
"A day after a press release bragging about Obamacare's benefits, President Obama acknowledges it is not working by suspending the law's requirements. Aside from the questionable legality of this, it only provides temporary relief for Americans, who will still be forced later to buy more expensive coverage. As a doctor and a Congressman, I know that patients are best served when THEY have the power over their healthcare decisions, not the President."
