Has Cathy McMorris Rodgers given up on repealing Obamacare? A spokeswoman for the Washington state Republican House member and chair of the GOP conference says the congresswoman still supports repeal, despite a report from a Spokane newspaper that characterized her as saying that repeal of the law was unlikely.
“The Congresswoman believes Obamacare’s government-centered, one-size fits all approach is not working, and will never work on multiple fronts, which is why she has voted numerous times to repeal it and will continue to work to repeal it at every opportunity,” read a statement from the McMorris Rodgers’s office. “Until the President and Democrats in Congress join Republicans in fully repealing this unworkable law, her mission is to continue protecting as many Americans as possible from its harmful effects until it is dismantled and replaced with needed reforms focused on patient-centered health care. The debate over health care will continue and the Congresswoman will support reforms to restore decision making to individuals and families so that America continues to lead the world in access to quality and affordable healthcare.”
