GRIFFITH SPEAKS ON REPEAL OF OBAMACARE

Washington, January 19, 2011
I believe the minimum essential coverage provision penalty is unconstitutional. I took an oath to uphold the Constitution. This time last year as a Member of Virginia House of Delegates, defending that Constitution, I was proud to cast my vote for House Bill 10, which mandated no Virginian shall be required to buy health insurance. Our Attorney General has joined the fray and filed suit in court and is winning. As Virginians, we did not accept the chains of George III, nor will we accept the chains of ObamaCare.

Congressman Morgan Griffith (R-VA) made the following remarks today on the House floor in support of the repeal of ObamaCare:
