Grassley Statement on Vote on the Amendment to Repeal Obamacare

Statement

Sen. Chuck Grassley of Iowa today made the following comment on the Senate's vote that came short of a procedural step on a vote to repeal the President's health care law. Grassley voted in favor of the procedural step toward repealing the law.

"Obamacare has led to far too many people losing the coverage they had and liked, and now being forced to spend more for what coverage they can get. Iowans tell me directly in town meetings and in emails and letters to my office that they don't like the law. Instead of targeting what was wrong and fixing those problems, Obamacare upended the whole health system. I'm committed to replacing Obamacare with health care reforms that empower consumers, drive down costs, and use marketplace incentives to make health care coverage accessible and affordable. The current majority in Congress should not stop in our effort to repeal Obamacare and replace it with effective reforms."
