Congresswoman Virginia Foxx (R-NC) released the following statement in response to President Obama’s plan to once-again enact unilateral changes to Obamacare without Congressional approval: 

“Can this tragically-flawed law hold any more band-aids? Waivers for this group; delays for that group; temporary ’fixes’ to mask the gravity of Obamacare’s most grievous features. The President is now trying to repackage his broken law. It’s not working.

“None of the damage control changes the President’s foundational promises about Obamacare. Time and again, he said unambiguously, ‘if you like your health insurance plan, you can keep it.’ He said Obamacare would save families $2,500 each year. He said Obamacare wouldn’t raise taxes.

“Too many North Carolinians, roughly 160,000, are confronting a very different truth.

“With the President’s credibility about these promises in shambles, attempting another unilateral end-run around Congress will not give North Carolina families the assurance they need.

“An executive fiat is not what my constituents Scott, Dawn, Ruthann, Midge, Mark, and John – who are each facing cancelled plans – want. And it does nothing to solve the underlying chaos Obamacare is causing. Only full repeal in favor of honest, patient-centered reform can do that.”

Congresswoman Foxx today shared the health care experience of Ruthann from Hickory, North Carolina on the floor of the House of Representatives:

For Ruthann, How is this Affordable Care?
