Gov. Scott: Obamacare must be repealed and replaced immediately

Posted on January 9, 2017

On Friday morning, in response to Leader McCarthy’s December 2nd letter, Governor Scott sent a letter urging Congress to repeal and replace Obamacare on day one of the new administration.
Excerpts from the letter are below:
“For far too long, it has been fashionable in Washington to say Obamacare can only be tweaked. We have seen debate after debate in Washington about this bad law but nothing has been changed. It has to be completely overhauled and now is the time to do it. We cannot let the usual political games or partisan gridlock of Washington get in the way of immediately repealing and replacing Obamacare with a plan that actually works.
The impact of Obamacare has been devastating in Florida and our nation. Obamacare was sold on a lie from the very start. Costs are skyrocketing, people have not been able to keep their doctors and many people have fewer doctors to choose from. The increases in health care costs are at a 32-year high and are expected to continue increasing in the coming months. Recent news of Obamacare rates rising 25 percent is absurd and families simply cannot afford it. We can do better and the families and businesses footing the bill deserve better.
…
I know the new administration is committed to getting rid of this bad law and it was great to hear this week that their first order of business will be to repeal Obamacare. I hope it happens January 20th…”
