Blackburn Votes to Repeal Obamacare, Says Law is Too Expensive To Afford

Statement

Congressman Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) issued the following statement in support of legislation to repeal Obamacare, H.R. 596, which passed the House today as part of the continued effort to protect consumers from President Obama's disastrous healthcare law.

"House Republicans remain united in our opposition to the damage done by Obamacare. It is clear to us and clear to our constituents that this law is not affordable," Blackburn said. "Obamacare is taking us back to the day of old major medical policies with high deductibles, high premiums, and limited choice of doctors and hospitals.

"Over 100 bills have already been introduced this Congress to undo the damage caused by President Obama's failed healthcare law. One of those bills is my legislation, H.R. 543, the Health Care Choice Act that would empower consumers by giving them the ability to purchase affordable health insurance coverage with a range of options from any provider in any state in the country.

"One thing is clear -- Obamacare is not working. It's time to get it off the books and replace it with common sense solutions that will restore choice and options for the American people."
