WASHINGTON – Tonight, Congresswoman Lynn Jenkins (KS-02) voted to delay the President’s health care law for a full year including all taxes, mandates, and spending. The bill also included a permanent repeal of ObamaCare’s job-killing medical device tax and a measure to pay our troops in the event of a government shutdown. Following passage of the bill, Congresswoman Jenkins released the following statement:

“Tonight, the House continued to listen to the American people by taking action to keep the government open and delay all of the President’s health care law for one year. The wheels are coming off of ObamaCare and I will keep fighting for hardworking, middle class families to get the same delay President Obama already gave big business, big unions, and big insurance.

“I did not come to Washington to shut things down. However, if the Senate fails to move swiftly, our House bill will make sure our military men and women, who put their lives on the line every day to protect our country and freedoms, will receive their paychecks. I came here to get things done and it is time the Senate does the same.”
