WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, U.S. Senator John Barrasso (R-Wyo) expressed his support for the Supreme Court’s decision to review President Obama’s health reform law:

“Throughout the history of our country, America’s leaders in Washington understood they did not have the constitutional authority to force people to buy a specific product.  This President set a new precedent in 2009 by mandating that Americans purchase health insurance.  He completely ignored the Constitution and the will of the American people.  I am confident that the Supreme Court will overturn President Obama’s overreach and rule that his law is unconstitutional.

“I am committed to repealing the President’s health care law and restoring Americans’ power over their own health care decisions.”
