Rep. Larry Buschon (IN-08) sits with one of cancer’s youngest victims while on his Hoosier Healthcare tour. Riley Hospital for Children offers individualized classes for their patients, ensuring the best recovery for each child. Under Obamacare, the choices and opportunities that children and parents have in medicine are limited, and are often decided for them. House Republicans continue to combat this detrimental health care law, to put decision-making back into the hands of those who know best: doctors, patients, and parents.

Surprise!

The latest discovery of the President’s failed health care law is that millions of Americans who are without health insurance will have to wait until 2015 to get covered.

According to this Fox News report, only about one in four Americans who qualified for subsidies actually signed up for health insurance. Add those who could no longer afford coverage and those who were unable to sign up through healthcare.gov, and tens of millions of Americans will lack health insurance for more than seven months.

To borrow from former Senator Max Baucus, the train wreck continues.

Obamacare cannot be fixed by replacing Sec. Sebelius

WASHINGTON, DC – House Republican Conference Chair Cathy McMorris Rodgers (R-WA) released the following statement about the resignation of Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius:

“Secretary Sebelius’s resignation does not change the fact that ObamaCare is a fundamentally flawed and unworkable law – one that continues to hurt hardworking Americans across the country.  Six months after the launch of the President’s health care law, it is abundantly clear that its problems are insurmountable, and unlikely to be fixed by replacing the Secretary of Health and Human Services.  I am hopeful the next Secretary will be more cooperative with Congress – and provide more answers about Obamacare – than the last.”
