Ribble Responds to Obamacare Supreme Court Decision

Statement

U.S. Representative Reid Ribble (WI-08) today released the following statement after the Supreme Court ruled to allow people to keep receiving federal subsidies on healthcare premiums purchased through federal exchanges in states that did not establish state-run healthcare exchanges.

"I believe all Americans should have access to high-quality, affordable healthcare. I want our children to grow up strong and healthy and for those with chronic diseases to receive the ongoing care that keeps them productive and happy.

However, I do not believe that the Affordable Care Act is the correct path for improving our healthcare system, and I have supported a number of measures that would address what I believe are some of the most damaging parts of the law. These include restoring the workweek to its traditional 40-hour definition, delaying the individual mandate, and repealing the damaging medical device tax.

Today's Supreme Court ruling does nothing to change our commitment to securing a healthcare solution that will lower costs, increase the quality of care, and fix this flawed law so that everyone can truly have access to quality care at an affordable price."
