Washington, DC - Former Senator Rick Santorum (R-PA) issued the following statement on the one year anniversary of Obamacare:"This deeply flawed legislation has done nothing it was promised to do. Costs aren't lower, quality isn't better, and access isn't greater. All this law has done is put more power in the hands of the Obama Administration, and taken power away from the average American. Government control of healthcare is not the answer, and Obamacare must be repealed."
"What's worse is as more light is shed on what this bill includes, we are learning just how dangerous this bill is. Obamacare maintains a $105 billion "slush fund" that funds the implementation of the legislation. This fund bypassed Congressional budget processes and gives the legislation advanced appropriations. Further, more than 1,000 companies, businesses and even the state of Maine have received waivers to escape the new regulations Obamacare requires. Even labor unions, which lobbied for the law, have received waivers. Maybe if our elected officials had taken the time to read this bill before voting for it, they could have prevented these flaws."
"Obamacare is bad policy. It is hurting our economy with its increased costs, burdensome regulations and higher taxes, and it must be repealed."
