Lose-Lose Decision

This is a day of tremendous concern for the American people. It truly is a lose-lose decision by the U.S. Supreme Court.

For the vast majority of Americans, if you have health insurance that you like, you are either going to pay more for it or lose it. If you do not have it, you will have to buy insurance even if you do not want it or pay an excessive penalty (tax).

We are also going to add almost $2 trillion to our already staggering federal debt.

This ruling does not change the fact that the Affordable Care Act (a.k.a., Obamacare) is bad law and is going to hurt the American people. It needs to be repealed.
