Sen. Rubio Votes to Repeal ObamaCare

WASHINGTON, Jan. 12 -- Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., issued the following statement after this morning's Senate passage of the Obamacare repeal resolution:

"ObamaCare has led to rising premiums, a collapse of the individual insurance market and fewer choices for patients. The law is an absolute failure and its proponents insist it must be salvaged with a taxpayer-funded bailout of health insurance companies.

"We've now taken an important first step to repeal this law and replace ‎it with a patient-centered approach that expands access to providers and lowers costs of care.

"It is my hope and expectation that the transition to a replacement program can be done relatively seamlessly and minimize disruptions to patients."
