Senator Blunt: Missourians Are Not "Stupid," They Know The Health Law Is Bad For Their Families

Statement

U.S. Senator Roy Blunt (Mo.) today slammed comments by "the ObamaCare architect," MIT professor Jonathan Gruber, who claimed that "the stupidity of the American voter" was "critical" for him and Democrats to hide the true cost of President Barack Obama's health care law from people in Missouri and nationwide.

"Missourians are not "stupid' -- that's why they've rejected the president's flawed health care law from the start," said Blunt. "Now we know that the president and his party intentionally hid ObamaCare's true costs. But families, seniors, workers, and small business owners across Missouri understand very clearly that ObamaCare has resulted in skyrocketing premiums, canceled coverage, fewer doctors, and devastating job losses."

"ObamaCare is fundamentally flawed, and it needs to be repealed and replaced with common-sense health care solutions," Blunt continued. "I'll keep fighting to protect consumers from the consequences of this flawed law in the new Congress."

In the year following the disastrous launch of the ObamaCare exchanges, Blunt went to the U.S. Senate floor almost every week it was in session to share health care news and stories from Missourians.
