Blackburn Continues Efforts to Protect Hard-Working Americans from Unaffordable Obamacare Mandates

Statement

Congressman Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) today continued her efforts to protect all hard-working Americans from the unaffordable Obamacare mandates by voting in support of H.R. 4118, the SIMPLE Fairness Act. The legislation approved by the House with bipartisan support would provide the same relief for all Americans that President Obama recently grated for big businesses by eliminating the individual mandate tax penalty under Obamacare for one year.

"Rather than admit he is wrong and repeal his destructive healthcare law, the President continues to offer relief to select political friends and companies. He remains unwilling to provide that same relief for all hard-working Americans and their families. It is simply not fair that big banks or businesses don't have to comply with Obamacare this year, but if you are a single mom in Tennessee trying to make ends meet there's no exemption -- and you get taxed. That's why I continue to fight in support of solutions like the SIMPLE Fairness Actto protect individuals from the harmful effects of Obamacare and provide fairness for all Americans."
