“I am gravely disappointed by the outcome of tonight’s vote in the U.S. Senate,” said Walsh. “The failure to repeal ObamaCare is yet another dangerous step in the wrong direction by Senate Democrats. Once more, we are able to see how out of touch they are with the American public, who’s referendum on ObamaCare was made clear in November’s election results.”
“Nevertheless, Harry Reid continues to drag this country down a path that jeopardizes the future of all Americans. If fully implemented this costly bill is expected to cost $2.6 trillion and increase the deficit by $701 billion over ten years. Consequences which are simply unacceptable.”
“ObamaCare is nothing more than a government takeover of health care. As promised during my campaign, I will continue to fight to repeal and replace this terrible bill, working hard to scale back costs and government invasiveness at every possible turn. It is my obligation to all of those who worked so hard to get me elected.”
Congressman Walsh voted in favor of repealing voted in favor of repealing President Obama’s health care bill when the U.S. House of Representatives voted on their version of the bill on January 19.
Love to know where Joe is getting his misguided numbers…they are far from factual and have been de-bunked by independent think tanks time and time again.
Debunk this LC. It’s hated by all that have enough reason to understand the takeover of our country by the socialists that shoved it down our throats.
I’m very happy with the Affordable Care Act. It won’t get repealed. Sorry Congressman Walsh is unhappy with the Senate, but oh well! I just want him to know that many of us are very satisfied with this bill which was already very much a compromise with the Republicans. We have compromised enough.
