Congressman Larry Bucshon Votes to Repeal the Health Care Law

Congressman Larry Bucshon (IN-08) voted in favor of H.R. 2 – “Repealing the Job-Killing Health Care Law Act” introduced on January 5th by House Majority Leader Eric Cantor.  The bill passed with a 245-189 margin.

Congressman Bucshon states:

“This was a great step by the 112th Congress to get our nation back on track.  ObamaCare is a budget busting bill which does not address the main issue in healthcare - the cost.  As a physician for 15 years, I am optimistic that we can work to implement real reforms that are market based solutions and not government takeovers. I am eager to work with my colleagues in the Education & the Workforce Committee and the GOP Doctors Caucus to start drafting replacement legislationthat ensures access to quality healthcare for all Americans.”
