“Maybe we should have started with you at the very beginning, talked to the physicians before they started writing a 2,000-plus-page bill that many of them [politicians] didn’t read, yet passed,” Republican Rep. Scott Tipton said. “[Then-Majority Leader Pelosi] said we”ll find out what’s in it once it’s passed and, unfortunately, that discovery is still continuing.”
Today, Rep. Scott Tipton (R-CO) issued this statement in support of H.R. 6079, the Repeal of Obamacare Act.
“It’s a $2 trillion tax increase,” Tipton said, referring to the court ruling and a recent finding by the Congressional Budget Office that the 10-year cost of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act will cost taxpayers $1.76 trillion over the next 10 years.Tipton vowed to repeal the act.
Rep. Scott Tipton, R-Cortez, “The President sold this act to the American people as anything but what it is, a tax increase. The President’s healthcare law has increased costs for American families, and hurt job creation when we needed it most.”
No matter what side of the fence Americans might be in regard to the president’s Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, the Supreme Court’s ruling upholding the legislation is no cause for celebration. The court ruled that individual mandate is a tax, making it one of the largest in American history. And while the law was upheld, it was not endorsed by the court.
Congressman Scott Tipton (R-CO) issued this statement following the decision by the U.S. Supreme Court today to uphold the federal healthcare law, calling the individual mandate a tax.

The House of Representatives has passed a bold plan fashioned through bipartisan efforts to preserve Medicare and other critical safety nets for seniors, and put our country on a sustainable course. Our plan makes responsible budget reforms and begins to pay back the national debt; it ensures that critical programs like Medicare will be available for future generations, and does not change Medicare benefits in any way for current seniors (65 and older) or those 10 years from retirement (55 and older).
Rep. Scott Tipton (R-CO) issued this statement following House passage of the Budget Resolution H.Con.Res. 112.
Congressman Scott Tipton issued this statement following the bipartisan passage of H.R. 5, the PATH Act, today, in the House of Representatives. The PATH Act protects seniors by blocking implementation of the controversial Independent Payment Advisory Board (IPAB), which if put into effect under the President’s health care law would jeopardize the ability of seniors to access care, and insert federal bureaucrats in the middle of doctor-patient relationships.
