CONGRESSMAN BACHUS STATEMENT ON HEALTH CARE LAW RULING

Staff Report

WASHINGTON – Congressman Spencer Bachus (AL-6) issued the following statement on today’s Supreme Court ruling on the President’s health care law.

“The ruling allows President Obama to impose massive new taxes to pay for his government takeover of health care.  It remains bad policy that is raising health care costs and making it harder for small businesses to provide health insurance and hire workers.  My position continues to be that the best public policy is to repeal and replace the President’s health care takeover with common sense reforms that will truly make health care more affordable and accessible.  Ultimately, is it the American people who will make the final decision and they will have the opportunity to do that.”
