Kline: ObamaCare is Destroying Jobs and Raising Costs

The following was published by the House Committee on Education and Labor on July 10, 2012. It is reproduced in full below.

The House of Representatives is currently considering legislation to strike down the president’s job-destroying health care law. As chairman of a committee with jurisdiction over the 2010 health care law, Rep. John Kline (R-MN) urged his colleagues to stand with the American people and support the Repeal of ObamaCare Act (H.R. 6079).

“The government takeover of health care is destroying jobs," Chairman Kline said moments ago on the House floor. “It is raising health care costs. It is the wrong prescription for an ailing economy and it must be repealed. We promised the American people no less, and we owe it to them to keep our promise."

The House of Representatives is expected to vote Wednesday on the Repeal of ObamaCare Act.
