Today, the House passed H.R. 45, legislation that would fully repeal Obamacare. Congressman Marchant issued the following statement upon passage:
"It seems like each day a new study or report is released that warns of the dangerous implications that come from Obamacare's implementation. This law is hurting American job prospects, raising insurance premiums, increasing deficits and will reduce the quality of American healthcare. Therefore it is not surprising that several Senate Democrats have recently expressed their frustrations with this legislative "train wreck.' Recently, even some Members of Congress have even considered measures to exempt themselves and their staffs.
"This approach is wrong, as all Americans should be exempt from this disastrous health care law. Today, in a bipartisan vote, the House passed legislation that does just that. This law must be repealed now so that we can get to work on reforms that lower costs, improve the quality of healthcare and protect jobs."
