King Introduces Full, 100% Repeal Obamacare Act

Washington, D.C. – Congressman Steve King released the following statement after introducing at the start of the 115th Congress his full, 100% repeal of Obamacare:

"In the wake of the presidential election it has become abundantly clear that the American people have overwhelmingly rejected Obamacare time and time again,” said King. “Now that Republicans have control of both the House and the Senate as well as a Trump presidency, we must take swift action to fulfill our promise to We the People and repeal this unconstitutional and egregious law passed by hook, crook and legislative shenanigan. My bill is the answer to this nightmare: full 100% repeal of ObamaCare ‘as if such Act had not been enacted’.

Since the botched implementation of ObamaCare, millions of people have had their health insurance plans cancelled because their grandfathered plans were in violation of ObamaCare's ‘essential health benefits.’ Since the beginning, I knew this would be the outcome, and my first order of business on the morning after ObamaCare passed into law, March 24, 2010, I drafted and then introduced the full, 100% repeal of ObamaCare. I have consistently reintroduced the same magic 40 word repeal bill, and this very language has passed the House several times.

I believe Obamacare should be ripped out by the roots, and I will not stop fighting until we have successfully done just that.”
