Zeldin In Favor of Repealing Obamacare

Local Congressman Lee Zeldin (R, C – NY-1) recently announced that he will be voting in favor or a bill to repeal Obamacare.

The Restoring Americans’ Healthcare Freedom Reconciliation Act of 2015 has already passed the Senate and is expected to to pass the House of Representatives, will be the first bill to repeal Obamacare that will be sent to the President’s desk, according to a release from Zeldin’s office.

“Obamacare has been nothing short of a disaster for hardworking families and our economy,” Zeldin said. “The flaws in this healthcare system have resulted in higher premiums, higher deductibles, lost doctors, cancelled policies, and so much more.”

The act repeals major provisions of Obamacare and provide a two year period of time to ensure that Americans still have healthcare coverage during the transition to a better plan.

“The Restoring Americans’ Healthcare Freedom Reconciliation Act repeals many of the flawed major provisions under Obamacare over a period of two years, specifically many of the harmful mandates and taxes, so that we can increase patients’ access, without compromising quality of care or efficiency,” Zeldin said. “Over recent years, it has become increasingly clear to both Democrats and Republicans that this law is deeply flawed. It is evident that at this point in time that we must fully repeal and replace Obamacare with solutions that cost less and guarantee more freedom, certainty and security.”
