Statement On King v. Burwell Ruling
Minneapolis, Minn. - After the Supreme Court's controversial ruling today in King v. Burwell, Republican Party of Minnesota Chairman Keith Downey released the following statement.
“In Minnesota, Obamacare has wasted over $250 million dollars of hard-earned taxpayer money on the failed MNsure system, and it has resulted in healthcare cost increases of over 50% in many cases,” said Republican Party of Minnesota Chairman Keith Downey.
“Democrats told us your healthcare costs would go down $2,500 per year, but it’s quite clear now, if Minnesotans want to fix the cost of their healthcare, then in 2016 we need to elect a Republican President and a Republican majority in both the Minnesota House and Senate.”
Republicans proposed significant MNsure reforms in the state legislature that were blocked by Democrats, including eliminating MNsure in favor of using the federal exchange and consolidating redundant public healthcare programs that would have saved $1 billion dollars.
Downey concluded, "Minnesota Republicans have put forward free market healthcare solutions that work and will cut costs, but Democrats continue to say no. To pass healthcare solutions that work, Minnesota needs to elect a Republican House and Senate in 2016."
