WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, U.S. Senator John Barrasso (R-Wyo.) released the following statement regarding the U.S. House of Representatives vote to repeal President Obama’s health care spending law:

“For almost a year, Americans have witnessed each day how the President’s health care spending law is bad for patients, providers and taxpayers. Today, the House took an important step towards repealing Obamacare.  I applaud their leadership.  In the Senate, Republicans will continue to fight to repeal the law and replace it with patient centered reforms.  Americans deserve a health care system that delivers excellent care, creates new jobs and grows our economy.  We must now take up this important challenge in the Senate.”
