Blunt: One year later, ObamaCare still fundamentally flawed

WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Senator Roy Blunt (Mo.) issued the following statement today marking the first anniversary of the disastrous launch of the ObamaCare exchanges:

“One year after the disastrous launch of the $2 billion ObamaCare website, I continue to hear from families, workers, seniors, and small business owners across Missouri who are facing skyrocketing out-of-pocket costs, canceled coverage, fewer doctors, and job losses. That’s because ObamaCare is more than a website with technical glitches – it’s a flawed law that needs to be repealed and replaced with common-sense health care solutions.”

Since the disastrous launch of the ObamaCare exchanges, Blunt has gone to the floor almost every week the U.S. Senate has been in session to share health care news and stories from Missourians.
