Joseph Pitts actually said...

"The Affordable Care Act attempts to do is increase access to the millions of uninsured Americans while slowing the growth of health care."

"I believe that the mandate helps put smaller businesses on a more competitive footing with large firms."

"Employers in several Districts cited the unknown effects of the Affordable Care Act as reasons for planned layoffs and reluctance to hire more staff."

"I strongly believe that these efforts to repeal not only employer mandate, but the whole bill are misguided."
