WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Representative Sam Graves (MO-06), House Small Business Committee Chairman, released the following statement after voting in favor of H.R. 3522, the Employee Healthcare Protection Act, to ensure that 6th District Missourians can keep the health plan of their choice.
“We all remember President Obama’s promise that if you like your health care plan, you can keep your health care plan. Unfortunately for the American people, this has turned out to be yet another in a long line of empty promises at best,” said Rep. Graves. “Obamacare has become nothing more than a series of delays and broken promises. Recently, it has been projected that roughly 50 million hardworking Americans could face cancellations or disruptions to their care. This is unacceptable and I am glad that the House of Representatives took action today to ensure that the promise of access to a quality health care plan of your choosing is kept,” Rep. Graves Continued.
“At the end of the day, this is yet another reason why the ill-conceived and unworkable law must be repealed. If President Obama and Democrats in Congress were serious about keeping their promise to the American people, they would join with us to address these issues immediately.”
