Tea Party favorite introduces health care repeal



Posted on 1/26/2011

Tea Party Leader Sen. Jim DeMint, R-SC, introduced legislation to fully repeal the health care reform legislation passed last year and signed into law by President Obama. 

Sen. DeMint Comments 
Sen. DeMint said Republicans are "standing with the American people who are demanding we repeal this government takeover of health care."

DeMint said, "American families and businesses are struggling and it's our duty to respond quickly to their calls to repeal this bill and push for solutions that will make health care more affordable." 

Sen. Johnson Comments 
Sen. Ron Johnson, R-WI, urged Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-NV, to schedule a vote soon.

Sen. Johnson said, "The House of Representatives has overwhelmingly voted to repeal Obamacare." 

Johnson said, "The Senate has an obligation to vote on a straightforward repeal bill as well, so the American people can see who opposes this destructive legislation, and who supports it."
