Washington, D.C. —
U.S. Sen. John Thune (R-S.D.) issued the following statement on the five-year anniversary of ObamaCare being signed into law:
“Higher premiums, higher deductibles, less choice, and fewer jobs – that’s the story of ObamaCare five years later. The Democrats’ signature legislative achievement has proven to be one big broken promise after another. Millions of Americans lost the coverage they had and liked, and many are facing fewer choices because of it. ObamaCare is hamstringing America’s small businesses – our engines of economic growth – and their ability to hire more people and grow.
“The American people have waited long enough for relief from the pain ObamaCare is causing them. I look forward to finally repealing this fundamentally flawed law and replacing it with real reforms that will actually lower costs and increase access to care.”
