Leader Cantor On Obama Administration's Secret Individual Mandate Delay
WASHINGTON, D.C. – House Majority Leader
Eric Cantor (R-VA) today issued the following statement on the Obama
Administration's secret individual mandate delay:
"The Obama Administration once again tried to sneak through a
unilateral change to ObamaCare which essentially allows anyone who has
experienced a hardship in obtaining health insurance to opt out of the
individual mandate tax without requiring documentation. It’s no surprise
that the Administration tried to sneak this through after spending
years attacking Republicans for wanting to spare Americans from this
very mandate. These backdoor changes to the law have to stop.
Republicans agree that Americans should not be subject to ObamaCare’s
mandate tax and will vote tomorrow to delay it for five years and use those savings to protect Medicare for our nation’s seniors.
"The fact that the Obama Administration threatens to veto
Congressional actions that mirror what they are secretly doing is
embarrassing, and deserves an explanation. Do House Democrats who voted
in favor of the individual mandate support this unilateral delay? It is
about time the White House and Democrats say one way or the other
whether they want to ever see the full implementation of Obamacare.
Let’s stop playing games, and legally delay these penalties that clearly
the Obama Administration even admits are destructive."
