WASHINGTON, D.C. – Rep. Scott Garrett (NJ-05) issued the following statement after voting for H.R. 3762, the Restoring Americans’ Healthcare Freedom Reconciliation Act, Objections of the President Notwithstanding:
“Today I voted to override the president’s veto of the ObamaCare repeal bill because Washington bureaucrats have no place standing between hardworking families and their health care choices. ObamaCare forces American families out of their insurance, skyrockets the cost of care, and stifles the ability of businesses to create jobs. I will continue to fight for families and their right to make their own health care decisions.”
In October Garrett pushed for the Healthcare Freedom Reconciliation Act , “The last thing New Jersey families need is an unaccountable Washington bureaucrat driving a wedge between them and their doctors or limiting their access to quality health care. Today I supported the Restoring Americans’ Healthcare Freedom Reconciliation Act because Americans deserve the repeal of ObamaCare’s most onerous and costly mandates, and they deserve to be put back in charge of their own health care choices.”
“A gentlemen Im friends with was paying 300 a month for insurance on a family of 4. Now because of Obamacare It went to 700 a month and now cant afford it and dropped it and doesnt have it, when he filed taxes was fined 900 dollars because he was unable to provide for his family paying a total of 8400 a year for insurance, kinda seems that they want working people to pay for their family , as well as another family that wont work , an if they dont they pay a fine. Does anybody remember what our great politicians said about this program ? All lies ” David H”I said it two years ago and I will say it again, Obamacare is an epic fail for this country. I couldn’t afford insurance 2 years ago and things have increased since then. My girls insurance premiums have doubled and their deductibles have tripled. Not only that this plan that is supposed to be “AFFORDABLE” covers NOTHING…NOTHING until my deductible is met. I pay full price for doctors visits, x-rays, medication, specialist until the deductible is met. So basically I am required to pay the premium and pay for everything on top of it. Honestly I just need to quit working, reduce my income by 1/2 and get all this stuff for free. Health care is affordable if your rich or if your poor. The people in the middle that are grinding it out every day get screwed….again.” Jake C
