Senator John Barrasso (R-WY) will introduce legislation next week to allow every American to apply for their own Obamacare waiver. Barrasso says, “Each waiver demonstrates that the President’s health care law is a complete failure.”
Here is Senator Barasso’s statement on Obamacare waivers:
Today, U.S. Senator John Barrasso (R-Wyo.) released the following statement regarding the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) new round of waivers from the President’s health care law. HHS has now granted a total of 1,471 waivers to over 3.2 million people.
“As of today, over 3.2 million Americans have received a get out of Obamacare free pass from the Administration. If the law worked well, companies and unions would not demand a way out of its expensive mandates. Each waiver demonstrates that the President’s health care law is a complete failure. The law continues to crush jobs, increase premiums and encourage government controlled health care.
“It’s not fair that a particular group of Americans, including union employees, don’t have to abide by the law. Millions of other Americans across the country deserve the same freedom.
“Next week, I will introduce a bill that will allow all Americans to apply for a waiver from the President’s health care law. This law will deliver choice to Americans who want to get the care they need, from the doctor they want, at a price they can afford.”
