Congressman Tom Cole today released the following statement after supporting legislation to repeal Obamacare. In addition to repeal, H.R. 596 calls on lawmakers to draft alternative solutions to replace the president’s unworkable healthcare law.
“It should come as no surprise that the House again voted for repeal of the president’s unworkable, unfair and unaffordable healthcare law,” said Cole. “No Republicans voted for the law when it was inappropriately rammed through Congress, and it remains deeply unpopular with the American people. In addition to its inappropriate passage, the law hasn’t been enforced uniformly or implemented fairly
“While House Republicans yet again reiterated the views of the American people today by voting to repeal Obamacare, we also showed our commitment to finding alternative solutions to improve the nation’s healthcare system. Considering that the Supreme Court will hear a case that could very well rule the law unworkable, this is a dialogue worth having on both sides of the aisle sooner rather than later, and I am pleased to see the House leading that effort,” concluded Cole.
I find this to be quite curious. Tom Cole now promotes the repeal of ObamaCare even with a majority Republican Senate. He and the party of Lincoln must be counting on the President to save the day by veto.
Excellent! Will he also vote to Repeal No Child Left Behind, another unworkable, ‘unfixable’ program? Better yet, will he vote to do away with the Federal Department of Education and truly return local control and parental authority? Every parent is watching every lawmaker and tweaks and revamps are not acceptable. When the lawmakers vote to keep NCLB or sunset it by March 2015, countless parents will make up their minds about the 2016 election cycle. Lawmakers must put a stop to the federal government’s takeover of education and the onslaught of invasion of privacy, or 2016 will prove that when we vote, our kids are more important than your careers.
