Michael Grimm wants Obamacare repealed before it’s too late
Calls CBO report proof law hurts Americans
The Congressional Budget Office report projecting the loss of 2.5 million full time jobs over the next decade due to the effects of the Affordable Care Act has been seized upon by the opponents of Obamacare, who charged that it is proof the law is unworkable and hurts Americans.
U.S. Rep. Michael Grimm, the lone Republican in Brooklyn’s congressional delegation, was one of the first elected officials to release a statement after the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) report was released on Feb. 4.
Grimm (R-C-Bay Ridge-Dyker Heights-Staten Island) said the report outlines “the job-killing effects” of Obamacare.
“Today’s report once again reaffirms that opposition to Obamacare is far from the stubborn fanaticism that President Obama and liberals in congress have claimed, but is based on indisputable facts and hard data. It is now clearer than ever that the president has perpetrated one deception after another in forcing this disastrous law on the American people,” Grimm stated. “I cannot fathom how anyone could claim to represent the best interest of their constituents and still stand by this law that is causing skyrocketing premiums, dropped coverage, and unprecedented uncertainty between patients and their doctors, particularly when it comes to seniors.”
