Harper Responds To High Court's Health Ruling

Jun 28, 2012 Issues: Health Care

WASHINGTON, DC – U.S. Rep. Gregg Harper (R–Miss.) released the following statement in reaction to the U.S. Supreme Court’s opinion on the constitutionality of the president’s health care law:

“While I have great respect for the Supreme Court, I am tremendously disappointed in this ruling. This decision expands the power of the federal government and leaves citizens with fewer freedoms. Only a full repeal of this overreaching law will allow Americans to receive the care that they need, from the doctors that they choose, at a cost that they can afford.”
