U.S. Senator Kelly Ayotte (R-NH) released the following statement regarding today's Supreme Court's ruling on the president's health care law:

"By imposing a coercive tax on the American people, the president's health care law represents an unprecedented federal overreach into individuals' personal lives. It fails to solve the fundamental problem with the nation's health care delivery system - the skyrocketing cost of care. Business owners across New Hampshire have told me that burdensome taxes and mandates in the law are keeping them from growing and hiring. If we don't repeal it, Americans can expect to see higher costs, less choice and fewer jobs. I will continue to fight to repeal this law and replace it with market-based reforms that reduce costs and expand consumer choice."
