WASHINGTON, D.C. – Congressman Steve King released the following statement in response to his full, 100% repeal of ObamaCare language, within H.R. 596, being brought to the United States House Floor for a vote today:
“The first order of business on the morning after ObamaCare passed into law, March 24, 2010, I drafted and then introduced the full, 100% repeal of ObamaCare,” said King. “Since then, I have consistently reintroduced the same magic 40 word repeal bill. My repeal language has passed the House several times.
I’m grateful that Speaker Boehner has decided to include my repeal bill, H.R. 132, as the core of H.R. 596 which will be voted on in the House today. Every Member of Congress, House and Senate, deserves a chance to go on record in favor of my full, 100% rip it out by the roots, ‘As if such Act had not been enacted,’ repeal of ObamaCare.”
They need to quit posturing and wasting time on bills that are going no where. That is not what they were sent to Washington to do.
