Alexander Discusses Health Care Repeal

Congressman Alexander recently discussed the House passage of H.R. 2, which would repeal the health care reform law, and the ruling of a federal judge deeming the law unconstitutional. In response to the ruling, Alexander said, "This is the second time a federal court has ruled that the mandated purchase of health insurance, the very heart of the health care law, is overreaching congressional boundaries. Along with the majority of the American people, I opposed this massive intrusion into our private health system. This law undermines the patient-physician relationship; it empowers the federal government with even greater authority through new physician, employer and benefit mandates; and from a financial standpoint, it is simply unsustainable. This ruling is another confirmation that we must put an end to the harmful provisions of this law."
