Boozman Statement on Supreme Court Healthcare Ruling

WASHINGTON – U.S. Senator John Boozman (R-AR) issued the following statement after the Supreme Court upheld key components of Obamacare:

 “I am disappointed in the outcome but respect the decision reached by the Supreme Court. However, just because the Court found the law to be constitutional, does not mean it is good policy. The President rammed this law through Congress claiming it was not a tax increase but the Court ruled it Constitutional as a tax. This is all the more reason to step up our efforts to repeal the law and its accompanying tax increase, and put in place free market solutions that lower costs and allows a patient centered approach to making health care decisions.”
