Rep. Davis Statement on Employer Mandate Decision

Statement

Date: July 3, 2013
Location: Champaign, IL
Issues: Employment and Affirmative Action Health Insurance

U.S. Rep. Rodney Davis (R-Ill.) today released the following statement after the White House's decision to delay the implementation of the employer mandate under Obamacare.

"While the White House's announcement is certainly welcome news, it just proves what we've known all along, Obamacare is bad for small businesses, that create two out of every three new jobs in America, and bad for the hard-working taxpayers of central and southwest Illinois," said Davis. "The full implementation of Obamacare is going to stop an already slow economic recovery, cost American families jobs and force individuals to pay even higher premiums. Now that the White House has taken this important step, they should continue by delaying the implementation of the rest of the law to allow us to have a true, open debate on the future of health care in America."
