Smith Responds to King v. Burwell Decision

 

          
 
Congressman Adrian Smith (R-NE) released the following statement today after the Supreme Court issued its ruling in King v. Burwell, upholding Obamacare subsidies.
“Today’s decision by the Supreme Court is a setback for both the rule of law and the American people,” Smith said. “President Obama insists his health care law is working, but he chooses to ignore the millions of Americans struggling to pay rising premiums and all those who lost their insurance after being told they could keep it. Despite my multiple inquiries to the administration, there is still no resolution for the 80,000 Nebraskans impacted by CoOportunity Health’s collapse. This certainly does not reflect a working law.
“The King v. Burwell ruling only reinforces the need to find patient-centered solutions for the issues Americans across the country are facing with their health care. We will continue our efforts to help those impacted by Obamacare’s rising insurance costs, burdensome regulations, and bureaucratic mismanagement.”
