Statement by Senator John McCain on Today's Supreme Court Decision

Statement

Date: June 28, 2012
Location: Washington, DC
Issues: Health and Health Care

U.S. Senator John McCain (R-AZ) released the following statement on the Supreme Court's decision today on President Obama's health care bill:

"Today's decision by the Supreme Court is disappointing. Obamacare is unpopular with the American people because it puts Washington in control of our health care choices and does nothing to address the real problems in our system -- most importantly the rapidly rising and unsustainable costs. In fact, Obamacare does the opposite, driving up the cost of health care and, as a result, impedes the economic recovery this country so badly needs. Congress should immediately begin the process of repealing Obamacare and replace it with common sense reforms that ensure all Americans can get the care they need at a price they can afford."
