Rep. Messer Issues Statement on Health Care Legislation

WASHINGTON, March 24 -- Rep. Luke Messer, R-Ind., issued the following statement on the health care legislation:

"This is a bad day for the American people. Today's defeat means health care costs will continue to rise, coverage will get worse and millions of families will continue to be shackled to Obamacare's suffocating mandates and taxes.

"That said, our work continues.

"I will always fight for the Hoosiers who sent me here and strive to repeal this failed law."

Messer spoke on the House Floor earlier this week to share stories from Hoosiers who have been hurt by Obamacare. A video of his remarks can be found here (https://youtu.be/jg7lHgN2C9w).
