Rep. Brett Guthrie (R-Ky.) gave the Republican Weekly Address Saturday where he stressed Congress’ commitment to Obamacare repeal.
“We’re fully committed to repealing ObamaCare,” Guthrie said.
“If ObamaCare’s next round of regulations takes effect on Jan. 1, mere months from now, small businesses will be forced into larger group insurance markets that have dramatically higher rates. That means that business owners, employees and their families will be the ones on the hook for higher costs.”
Guthrie then touted bipartisan legislation he helped author that would help fix this part of the rule, not repeal it entirely.
“It would ensure that employers with 50-100 employees would be able to keep their current healthcare plans and avoid more burdensome Obamacare mandates,” he said.
“This will give relief to American workers across the country,” Guthrie continued. “Rising healthcare costs make it impossible to plan for the future. That means it is impossible to hire more people.”
“We know that when Main Street does well, so do American families,” he added.
