“Thousands of people across Western North Carolina have already stood up against President Obama’s massive government takeover.  Today’s action is not the end.  We can still repeal this unconstitutional plan and we can still defeat it in court.                     

“Obamacare will mean higher taxes, higher spending and fewer jobs.  Western North Carolina is hurting and the President has just prolonged the pain of this recession.

“Americans do not want a plan that raises their premiums, hits them with 19 new tax increases and forces them pay for abortions.  Our best shot at getting rid of Obamacare is ‘replace and repeal.’  We’ve got to replace these folks that voted for this horrible bill and then we’ll have the votes we need to repeal Obamacare."
