Pearce: Obamacare is Unconstitutional

Steve Pearce

Washington, DC (November 14, 2011) Today, Congressman Steve Pearce issued the following statement regarding the Supreme Court’s decision to consider whether or not the Obama Administration’s healthcare law is constitutional: “The previous Congress, led by Democrats, overstepped its constitutional boundaries in passing the Patient Accountability and Affordable Care Act,” said Pearce. “President Obama’s healthcare law forces the American people to buy healthcare and gives significantly more power to government bureaucrats. Washington is already taking too much from hardworking American businesses and families without the two dozen new or higher taxes the healthcare law imposes. The current Republican-led House of Representatives fulfilled our promise to Americans to repeal this law, but it was not considered by the Democrat-controlled Senate. For too long, party politics have overruled what is good for the American public. By taking up this case, we can hope that the Supreme Court will thoroughly review the implications of the Obama Administration’s healthcare policies and find them to be unconstitutional. We must protect our businesses, our communities, and our families by ensuring that the quality and affordability of healthcare is not impeded by governmental red tape,” Pearce continued. “Washington must stop taking actions that make the lives of Americans more difficult and start delivering on promises to return America to the land where success is rewarded and opportunities are unlimited. It is time to start taking steps toward healthier families, a healthier society, and a healthier economy.” The Patient Accountability and Affordable Care Act requires all Americans to purchase health insurance. Today, the Supreme Court has agreed to make a ruling on the constitutionality of the law.
