LITTLE ROCK – Second District Congressional candidate, U.S. Army Reservist and former U.S. Attorney Tim Griffin today became the first district candidate to sign the Club for Growth “Repeal It! Pledge,” vowing to repeal any federal takeover of health care enacted in 2010.
“There is no question that today’s health care system needs reform and the key to that reform is less bureaucracy and more choices for patients,” Griffin said. “Free-market solutions, interstate competition and tort reform will control costs, increase quality and decrease the debt.”
In signing the pledge, Griffin vowed to:
“I hereby pledge to the people of my district upon my election to the U.S. House of Representatives, to sponsor and support legislation to repeal any federal health care takeover passed in 2010, and replace it with real reforms that lower health care costs without growing government.”
Club for Growth President Chris Chocola said, “I thank Tim Griffin for making this pact today with the people of his district to fight for health care and economic freedom, even if Congress passes ObamaCare this year.”
