Rep. Stewart Issues Statement on Passage of Obamacare Repeal Resolution

WASHINGTON, Jan. 13 -- Rep. Chris Stewart, R-Utah (2nd CD), issued the following statement after the House passed a resolution that allows Congress to begin the process of repealing and replacing Obamacare: "I have heard over and over again from my constituents about how Obamacare is failing them. It's increased premiums, deductibles and forced Americans to change doctors and health care plans. That's why the House acted today by passing legislation which begins the process of repealing and replacing Obamacare." "I want to reassure my constituents that we are quickly working on a replacement plan. We've already laid the foundation for multiple pieces of straightforward legislation, not a comprehensive, overly complex, and confusing 3,000-page bill like Obamacare.

"Our legislation will make it easier and cheaper to get portable insurance, increases access to and flexibility of Health Savings Accounts (HSAs), reforms medical liability laws, spurs competition between insurers and protects individuals with pre-existing conditions."
