"Defunding Obamacare and Controlling Spending
With my support, on Friday, September 20,
the House passed legislation known as a continuing resolution that prevents a
government shutdown AND also prevents money from being spent by the federal
government on the so-called Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA).
PPACA is also known as Obamacare.
It is my belief that the Senate ought to
publicly acknowledge the negative impact that Obamacare will have on the
American people and businesses, and join us in defunding Obamacare once and for
all. Obamacare as written will not work. Senator Max Baucus, one of the law’s
chief architects, said that Obamacare will be a “huge train wreck.” In my
opinion, it is the duty of the House and the Senate, if they see a train wreck
coming, to get the American people not only off the tracks, but well away from
the prospective wreck. The House has done its work. It’s now up to the
Senate.
As this column is being written, this
legislation’s fate has yet to be determined by the Senate. No matter what your
opinion is on Obamacare, you should let your Senators know how you feel. Their
office numbers are:

Senator
Mark Warner
202-224-2023
|
Senator Tim Kaine
202-224-4024
