Washington, D.C. – Congressman Gary Palmer notes the five year anniversary of the so-called Affordable Care Act and offers the following statement:
The U.S. House of Representatives on Tuesday voted largely along party lines to approve a bill by Rep. Bradley Byrne, R-Fairhope, to repeal the Affordable Care Act.
The final vote was 239-186, with all but three Republicans in favor and all Democrats opposed. It was the 56th time the House has voted to junk the law known as Obamacare since Congress passed it in 2010.
"Obamacare is full of broken promises," Byrne said during the debate on the House floor preceding the vote.
