Congressman Mike Rogers sent a letter today to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV), urging him to bring a full repeal vote of the Affordable Care Act to the Senate Floor.
After the recent announcement of the Obama Administration’s decision to delay implementation of the 'Employer Mandate' by a year, Rogers’ concerns have continued to grow over what he considers a flawed law.
The letter states, “As you know, the United States House of Representatives voted in a bi-partisan manner to repeal the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act…Without action from the United States Senate to permanently repeal this unworkable law, our constituents will continue to face the uncertainty and very possible negative effects of the Affordable Care Act……Undoubtedly, the Administration will continue to delay implementation of sections of this flawed law thereby further creating more unnecessary confusion for the American people.”
Rogers said Obamacare is a disaster for our economy and argues it should be repealed fully.
“The American people deserve better and this ‘train wreck’ of a law just keeps getting messier. I strongly urge Senator Reid to consider bringing this vote before the Senate, and debate legislation that will help bring down the cost of health care while improving its quality,” Rogers said.
Rogers serves as Chairman of the Strategic Forces subcommittee on the Armed Services Committee and is a senior member of the Homeland Security and Agriculture committees.
