Chief Deputy Whip Rep. Peter Roskam (IL-06) responded to a Florida judge's ruling today to declare President Barack Obama's healthcare plan overhaul unconstitutional.
“I applaud Judge Vinson’s ruling against Obamacare today," Roskam stated in a press release. "The healthcare overhaul not only destroys jobs, increases costs and taxes for consumers and employers, and reduces the quality of care, but its mandates on individuals, employers, and states are also unconstitutional. The American people and American job creators overwhelmingly oppose the overhaul and can’t afford it. The House of Representatives has already passed legislation to repeal the job-destroying law – I urge the Senate to follow suit and allow an up-or-down vote.”
