Washington, D.C.– U.S. Senator Marco Rubio today issued the
following statement applauding the House vote to repeal ObamaCare and
calling on Senate Democrat leadership to hold a similar up-or-down vote:

“In voting to repeal ObamaCare, our colleagues in the House have taken
an important step. We need to repeal the federal health care law and
replace it with common sense reforms that will lower health care costs
and get more Americans insured. ObamaCare creates uncertainty for job
creators, threatens Medicare as Floridians know it and lays the
foundation for government-run health care. Instead, we need to replace
it with reforms that promote competition, empower patients with more
high-quality health-care options, combat fraud and integrate the latest
technologies to make the system more efficient and the patient better
informed. I look forward to working with my colleagues in the Senate to
repeal and replace ObamaCare, and hope the Democrat leadership will heed
the American people’s call by allowing an up-or-down vote.”
