Rep. Ritze Comments on Supreme Court’s Ruling on Obamacare
OKLAHOMA CITY – State Rep. Mike Ritze issued the following statement in response to a ruling from United States Supreme Court today holding that the Affordable Care Act does allow tax subsidies to be distributed through the federal government’s health insurance exchange.
“The Supreme Court today struck a blow to the rule of law and the American people. This law was badly written, and study after study since Obamacare was implemented more than four years ago shows that the American people are staunchly against it, particularly in Oklahoma. As the author of both the “opt out” amendment that Oklahomans overwhelming adopted in 2010 and House Bill 1021, which would have nullified Obamacare in Oklahoma, I understand exactly how our citizens feel about this law. The Supreme Court stood on the side of those who believe a socialist government takeover of healthcare and private health decisions is best for America. I disagree, and so do the overwhelming majority of Oklahomans.”
“The best solution to this government-created healthcare crisis is getting government out of healthcare altogether. We should be promoting health savings accounts, allowing health insurance companies to sell insurance products across state lines and making existing plans portable – just like with homeowners or automobile insurance – so that when individuals leave a job they can take their healthcare coverage with them. As a Board Certified Family Practice & Surgeon and Chairman of the Public Health Committee, I believe in promoting wellness, not socialized medicine.”
