(Washington, D.C.) – Today, U.S. Senator Patty Murray
(D-WA) released the following statement after House Republicans voted to repeal
health care reform:
“Today, Republicans showed us
where their priorities lie. We should be working together to create jobs,
strengthen the middle class, and keep our economy on the right track to
recovery. Instead, they voted to take away tax breaks for small
businesses, to allow insurance companies to deny care to sick children, and to
raise the cost of medicine for our seniors. They voted to make a political
statement.
“That statement comes with a price tag — $230 billion. With
one vote, House Republicans chose to spend $230 billion dollars, eliminate new
jobs, and take away health insurance from 32 million people. It’s unfair
to the American people and unfortunate at a time when solutions should trump
political gamesmanship.”
