WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, U.S. Senator John Barrasso (R-Wyo.) released the following statement in response to President Obama’s press conference on Obamacare:

“While the President repeatedly pats himself on the back over the number of people that were forced to sign up for his insurance scheme, millions of Americans are experiencing real and significant repercussions.
 
“The President has now taken to mocking those that point out the negative consequences.  The impacts are very real. 

“It’s clear that the President remains totally focused on coverage instead of care.  He is either ignoring reports from across the country—or he isn’t hearing them.  Either way, he is out of touch with Americans who have lost their doctor, had their insurance cancelled and watched their premiums spike all because of this failing law.

“This isn’t a political fight as the President is fond of repeating. His latest victory lap is a hollow one for the millions of Americans that have suffered as a result of his policy.”
