Conflicting Decisions Prove Obamacare's Failure

Press Release

Former Arkansas House Majority Leader and Fourth District Congressional Candidate Bruce Westerman (R-Hot Springs) today released the following statement regarding two conflicting court rulings that highlight structural failures in President Obama's healthcare law:

"When Nancy Pelosi said passing Obamacare would allow us to see what was in it, I am sure she was hoping people would overlook the subsidies portion of the law ruled on today by two different circuit courts. In fact, both rulings, though conflicting, highlight the fact that Obamacare was a poorly-written takeover of people's healthcare and an ill-conceived law that would be enforced by a scandal-plagued IRS. There is only one option for Obamacare at this point: Repeal."
