Chief Deputy Whip Patrick McHenry (R, NC-10) released the following statement on today's Supreme Court decision in the case of King vs. Burwell:

“Obamacare has driven up costs, reduced choice, and harmed small businesses throughout the country. This year alone, North Carolinians are facing premium increases of as much as 25 percent because of President Obama's federal takeover of our healthcare system. It is bad policy and it must be fully repealed.
 

“Today’s decision is unfortunate, but it does not change my strong belief this law is broken. Real healthcare reform should reduce costs, expand choices, and put important healthcare decisions in the hands of consumers, not government bureaucrats. 

“Through the final 18 months of the Obama Administration, Congressional Republicans will continue to keep the pressure on Obamacare. This law is fundamentally broken and no court decision can change that. Rest assured, I remain fully committed to a full repeal and replacement of Obamacare; I’m hopeful this can be accomplished with a change in the White House come 2017.”
