Five Years Later, Obamacare Continues to Harm Western NC Families
Increased costs, cancelled plans, & loss of access to care throughout NC

Washington, Mar 23 -

Chief Deputy Whip Patrick McHenry (R, NC-10) released the following statement to mark the fifth anniversary of Obamacare being signed into law by President Barack Obama:

“On this day five years ago I said Obamacare would lead to higher taxes, higher spending, fewer jobs, and prolong the economic pain felt by so many throughout Western North Carolina. As we mark today’s fifth anniversary of its signing, Obamacare has met all those predictions and then some. From the $1.5 billion spent on a failed website to the ‘lie of the year’ which cost thousands of my constituents the healthcare plans and doctors they liked, Obamacare have proven to be an even bigger disaster than anyone could have predicted.
 
“Five years later the law faces its second review before the Supreme Court, remains deeply unpopular with a majority of the American people, and Republicans enjoy record majorities in Congress– majorities built largely on the back of this failed law. This week, with passage of budget resolutions, those majorities will take an important step to repealing and replacing Obamacare once and for all and finally providing the American people with true healthcare reform that reduces costs and provides us with the choice we deserve.”
