Arkansas leaders respond to health care ruling
"Today's decision ... doesn't change the fact that the President's healthcare law is bad policy that is increasing costs and reducing patient choice for millions of Americans." -- U.S. Rep. French Hill, R-Ark.
...
"The government must follow the law as it's written, which is why I believe the Court wrongly decided to approve President Obama's unlawful implementation of Obamacare. While I respect the Court's decision, Obamacare remains a fundamentally flawed law that is hurting thousands of Arkansas with higher premiums and copays, higher taxes, and lost jobs. " -- U.S. Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Ark.
...
"[T]his law has let the American people down. The Court's ruling doesn't change that. It is up to Congress to replace this program with market-based solutions that will bring the changes that Obamacare, and all its broken promises, simply cannot deliver." -- U.S. Sen. John Boozman, R-Ark.
...
"Today's ruling does not change the reality that Obamacare is fundamentally flawed, increasing costs for families and businesses alike, killing jobs, making full-time employment harder to find, and limiting choice in and access to health care. Congress must take action to address the Affordable Care Act's many broken parts and promises." -- U.S. Rep. Steve Womack, R-Ark.
...
"The Court's decision threatens the foundation upon which this country was built -- that only Congress has the power to write and enact laws." -- Arkansas Attorney General Leslie Rutledge, a Republican.
