Foxx: Delay of ObamaCare Employer Mandate Won't Stop Damage. Repeal Will.

Washington, D.C., July 3, 2013 | Ericka Perryman (202-225-2071)
“Employers need more than a one year delay of ObamaCare’s coming train wreck. The President’s flawed legislation must be repealed in its entirety. ObamaCare is already increasing health care costs, depressing hiring and destroying full-time work. Waiting a year to implement some of its confusing, wrong-headed policies will not stop the damage or provide job creators with the certainty they need to figure out whether they can afford to keep their employees. That will come only when ObamaCare is replaced by competitive, patient-centered health care reforms. The American people and the American economy deserve better than excuses for unworkable laws. They deserve health care policies that are transparent, responsive and focused on them.”
Congresswoman Virginia Foxx today issued the following statement on the announcement by the Obama Administration that it would delay implementation of ObamaCare’s costly employer mandate until 2015: 

“Employers need more than a one year delay of ObamaCare’s coming train wreck. The President’s flawed legislation must be repealed in its entirety.
