House Votes to Repeal Obamacare
Texas Insider Report: WASHINGTON D.C. Obamacare is bad for health care because
it places Washington bureaucrats in charge of your health care by creating 159 boards bureaucracies and other government entities to make decisions that should be made by you and your doctor" said Cong. Francisco
Quico" Canseco (TX-23) a former small business owner and strong advocate for repealing Obamacare after the House of Representatives passed the Repeal of Obamacare Act (H.R. 6079).
While the recent U.S. Supreme Courts ruling affirmed the constitutionality of the law its important to remember that it did not affirm that its good for the health care of Americans or our economy.
Obamacare endangers your ability to access health care as placing Washington in control could lead to a massive exodus of physicians who are unable to confront the overwhelming burdens of the law. In other words under Obamacare you might have proper health care coverage but be unable to see a physician" said Canseco.
Obamacare is also a massive burden on our economy. The 2700 pages of Obamacare are filled with new taxes new mandates and other burdens that are leaving businesses
wondering how theyll bear the burdens associated with this law. Ive met with numerous small business owners across the 23
rd District of Texas and overwhelmingly Ive heard how Obamacare has left them unable to hire new employees because they have no idea what their health care costs will be to comply with the law."
Furthermore Obamacare represents a massive tax burden on hard-working American families. Even before the U.S. Supreme Courts ruling the American people knew that Obamacare contained over half a trillion in tax increases saddling American families with more taxes including the families making less than $250000 that President Obama promised would not have their taxes raised.
Now that the U.S. Supreme Court has ruled the individual mandate is a tax a claim rejected by President Obama while the law was being passed by Congress but advanced by his administration in defending the law in court Obamacares already large tax burden upon American families will only get larger. Additionally senior citizens who rely on Medicare will be negatively impacted by Obamacare due to the half a trillion in cuts in Medicare included within the law to pay for other provisions."
Clearly we need to reform health care in America but Obamacare is not the solution.
Obamacare is bad for our health care bad for our economy and bad for American families. In fact as long as Obamacare remains in place it prevents us from truly addressing the concerns that the American people have with health care which is its affordability and accessibility.
As Ive traveled throughout my district the past year and a half Ive heard time and time again from families seniors and small business owners about the need to repeal
Obamacare.
Im proud one of my first votes in the House of Representatives was to repeal this law completely and Im proud to have supported the complete repeal of Obamacare again today" concluded Congressman Canseco.
