WASHINGTON, DC - House Energy and Commerce Committee Chairman Greg Walden (R-OR) today issued the following statement after President Obama’s meeting with Congressional Democrats about preserving his failed health care law.
“We are glad President Obama made the ‘long trek’ down Pennsylvania Avenue to address his failing health care law, but regret that even in his final days in office he still insists on a partisan approach when reaching out to Congress. Simply put, Obamacare has failed the American people and our first priority must be to provide relief to families facing even higher costs and fewer choices. We will fight for a Better Way to make health care more affordable for all Americans while taking power from Washington bureaucrats and putting it back in the hands of patients and their doctors where it belongs."
