Isakson Statement on Supreme Court Decision on
King v. Burwell
WASHINGTON – Today, U.S.
Senator Johnny Isakson, R-Ga., today issued the following statement
regarding the Supreme Court’s decision on
King v. Burwell:
"Today the Supreme Court
failed to recognize how terribly flawed President Obama's health care
law is for millions of Georgians suffering under the law’s health
insurance premium spikes
and intrusive mandates. Despite this action by the Supreme Court I will
continue to work with my Senate colleagues to repeal and replace
Obamacare."
Background:
Since
voting against its enactment in 2009, Isakson has voted to defund or
repeal Obamacare more than 60 times. Isakson has co-sponsored numerous
legislative proposals that would repeal
the law in full or repeal provisions in the law in previous sessions of
Congress, including both the
Obamacare Repeal Act, and the Defund Obamacare Act. On
February 2, 2011, he voted to repeal the health care law altogether, and
on March 13, 2013, he voted in favor of Cruz’s amendment to defund
Obamacare in the Continuing Resolution.
