Carter: Big Win for Hardworking Americans and the Protection of the Constitution

Statement

Today, United States District Judge Rosemary Collyer ruled in favor of House Republicans in a lawsuit against the Obama administration's use of taxpayer funds for Obamacare. In the ruling, Judge Collyer ruled that it is unconstitutional for the administration to use federal funds to make payments to insurance companies under Obamacare without an appropriation from Congress.

Congressman Earl L. "Buddy" Carter (GA-01) released the following statement in reaction to the ruling:

"This is a big win for hardworking American taxpayers and the protection of the Constitution. The Obama Administration has spent billions of dollars to keep Obamacare afloat without authority from Congress. Our Founding Fathers clearly designated spending authority to Congress and the blatant trampling of the Constitution and disregard for the separation of powers cannot continue.

"While we are still fighting the battle to repeal and replace this disastrous law that is ruining the healthcare system I love and worked in for more than 30 years, I hope the ruling today serves as a wakeup call to the administration. Obamacare is broken and a waste of hard earned taxpayer dollars and it must go."
