Congressman Tom Price (R-GA) issued the following statement after President Obama signed into law the Democrats’ government takeover of health care.

“Future generations will decry the enactment of this law as one of the most irresponsible acts ever perpetrated by the federal government,” said Congressman Price. “Americans now face a future of spending more money for decreased access to less innovative and lower quality care. Government spending on health care will send taxes and debt to crippling levels.

“We cannot allow this disaster to go forward. We must repeal and replace this law. We must repeal the unconstitutional individual mandate, the job-killing taxes, the taxpayer funding of abortion, the unfunded mandates on States, the harmful cuts to Medicare, the new government czars who will decide what kind of insurance Americans must purchase, and the shady backroom deals made to shove the bill through Congress.

“The battle for reforms that empower patients, families, and doctors is not over. It is only beginning.”
