It is in the best interests of my constituents and the country to repeal and replace the ACA, and defunding/delaying implementation is consistent with that approach.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I'm not a supporter of ObamaCare. I voted to repeal it, to defund it, et cetera. But we do need to move on.
I've supported the repeal of ObamaCare.
If it doesn't have a full delay or defund of Obamacare, I know I and many others will not be able to support whatever the leadership proposes.
I say we need to repeal Obamacare as fast as we can.
I'm one of those that have said, one of my key principles is I will not support a health care reform bill that is not deficit-neutral, period.
I've always believed that if you support reform or you support a particular idea that you ought to fund that idea first and not the system.
I support health care reform in this country, but the current bills we have before us are too big, too costly, and the people who send me to Washington to be their voice are opposed to them and this process.
I'm committed to voting to repeal Obamacare or defending it as much as possible.
My number one objective continues to be to defund or delay the implementation of Obamacare. But as long as any piece of this law is standing, it needs to apply to all Americans equally, and that includes members of Congress and our staff.
I did vote to defund the Obama program that defers deporting the so-called DREAMers, because that was the president's decision, and the president shouldn't unilaterally get to decide what laws to enforce or not enforce.
