House votes to repeal healthcare law
Wednesday, July 11, 2012
U.S. Rep. Steven C. LaTourette (R-OH) today voted to repeal the
healthcare law. The measure passed by a vote of 244-185.
LaTourette issued the following statement:
"I've always believed there were some really good things in the
healthcare law, especially provisions for pre-existing conditions
and allowing children to remain on their parents' plan until age
26," LaTourette said; "However, since the very start of the
drafting process I feared the bill would morph into a hugely
expensive exercise where every idea ever envisioned, rejected or
put on hold would find a home, including when, where and how long
breast feeding breaks should be, nutritional labeling of food at
chain restaurants, and taxes on everything from medical devices to
indoor tanning beds."
