Labrador Responds to Obamacare Decision

Statement

Congressman Raúl Labrador (ID-01) responded to the decision of the U.S. Supreme Court today to hear arguments regarding "The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act," also known as PPACA, saying:

"The decision of the U.S. Supreme Court to hear arguments on Obamacare is another step in the right direction to finally repeal this disastrous law once and for all.

This unconstitutional takeover of the world's best health care system compromises affordability, accessibility, quality, innovation and, most importantly, the sacred doctor-patient relationship.

As a public servant, I have authored two pieces of legislation to oppose Obamacare. First, as a legislator in Idaho, I co-sponsored the bill that laid the framework for Idaho to join the lawsuit against Obamacare. As a freshman Congressman, my first act was to co-sponsor legislation to fully repeal Obamacare.

The decent and hardworking people of Idaho have demanded free market-based and patient-centered reforms to replace Obamacare. No matter the Supreme Court's ruling on Obamacare, I will continue to be an advocate for these measures that will empower patients and their doctors to ensure the highest quality and most affordable health care for Idahoans and all Americans."
