Diaz-Balart comments on ObamaCare Repeal

Washington, D.C. – Congressman Mario Diaz-Balart (R-FL) voted to repeal ObamaCare, the health care law that is destroying jobs across America. Diaz-Balart states the following:

“My vote to repeal the job-destroying healthcare law is necessary to grow our economy and to help businesses create jobs. At a time when roughly 15 million Americans are searching for work, the President’s healthcare bill makes it nearly impossible for small businesses to hire workers, leaving millions of Americans in distress. ObamaCare raids half a trillion dollars from Medicare, jeopardizing seniors’ access to the care they need and deserve. Instead of expanding the size and scope of government, I will work with my colleagues to enact a reform that will lower costs for families and small businesses, increase access to affordable, high-quality care and strengthen the doctor-patient relationship. Americans want improvements to the nation’s health care system, without attachments of new mandates, tax hikes, and $2.6 trillion in new government spending.”

“We need to repeal this law that makes healthcare coverage more expensive for millions of Americans and will drive this country into bankruptcy, leaving the burden on the backs of our children and grandchildren.”
