“Let me give you some important reasons why we need to repeal this law. Yes, you will create jobs--but in an ever-expanding Federal bureaucracy. The Joint Economic Committee reported this bill creates over 150 new Federal offices. With that, of course, small businesses must comply, are mandated to comply, with all the new and many regulations. Now, if this bill is so good, why is the Obama administration giving a pass to over 220 organizations and corporations that have received exemptions from this law, including many, many unions? With the proposed $500 billion cut in Medicare and the increase in taxes that is already occurring, this law is simply not credible. With record unemployment, this law will hurt small businesses and prevent job creation, adding burdensome taxes, and it will not increase growth in this country. Republicans will replace this bill with a health care law based upon choice, competition, and the traditional American exceptional value system, which is compassion--but compassion with accountability. We need to repeal this law.”
