Wagner Votes to Protect Families from ObamaCare

WASHINGTON , D.C. – Representative Ann Wagner (R-MO) today issued the following statement as the House of Representatives passed legislation to delay ObamaCare’s individual and employer mandate for one year:

“Today the House stood up for millions of hardworking Americans – those single moms, seniors, young adults, and all Missourians who simply can’t afford ObamaCare’s skyrocketing costs. Since President Obama decided to delay the implementation of ObamaCare for unions and businesses for an entire year – I decided to take action. That’s why I voted to delay ObamaCare’s employer and individual mandate from hurting the American people. By taking steps to delay the individual mandate, this act will protect hardworking, middle-class families from more taxes, fewer choices, inferior care and skyrocketing premiums. While this is only a one year reprieve, I will not stop fighting until ObamaCare is repealed and replaced with free-market based solutions that expand access without destroying our economy and lowering the quality of our care.”
