Coffman Statement on Vote to Repeal the Affordable Care Act |
WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Today, the U.S. House of Representatives voted to repeal the Affordable Care Act and replace it with patient-centered health care reform. Rep. Mike Coffman, R-Aurora, released the following statement regarding his vote to repeal the Affordable Care Act: “The American people deserve better than the Affordable Care Act. Americans know that we cannot fix our health care system by cutting $500 billion out of Medicare, placing job killing mandates on small businesses, and by further slowing our economy down through a massive tax increase." “I’m proud to support today’s legislation to repeal the Affordable Care Act and I look forward to replacing it with patient-centered health care reform that will reduce costs, broaden access, protect Colorado’s senior citizens, working families and small businesses.” ### Published July 11, 2012 |
