(Washington, DC)  – Congressman Charles W. Boustany, Jr., M.D. (R-South Louisiana) released the following statement after opposing counsels concluded arguments regarding the constitutionality of Obamacare before the Supreme Court yesterday:

“The stated goal of health reform was to lower costs, but Obamacare does the exact opposite. Rather than creating real choice and competition among health plans, Washington Democrats voted to force Americans to buy expensive Washington approved coverage. After personally observing oral arguments on the matter earlier this week in the nation’s highest court, my initial belief has been reaffirmed: Obamacare is bad medicine for America. In June, I am hopeful the court will render a verdict striking down this unpopular, job-killing law.”
