Aderholt Supports Obamacare Mandate Delay for All

Washington, D.C.— Congressman Robert Aderholt (AL-04) released the following statement in support of H.R. 2667, the Authority for Mandate Delay Act and H.R. 2668, the Fairness for American Families Act.

“Like so many other provisions of the law that have been delayed, repealed or declared unworkable, this is just another example that Obamacare is not ready,” said Aderholt. “However, it is unfair for the Administration to shelter big businesses from their mistakes without giving that same relief to individuals, families and small businesses.”

“These bills address this problem by delaying both the employer mandate and the individual mandate. Since Obamacare became law, the American people’s opposition to it has only grown. We have seen premiums start skyrocketing, many are losing their current employer-sponsored health insurance, and employers have started cutting jobs, hours and wages. The legislation passed today does what’s fair and protects all Americans from a law that most Americans disagree with,” concluded Aderholt.

Aderholt currently serves as Chairman of the Subcommittee on Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration and Related Agencies for the powerful House Appropriations Committee, is a member of the Committee’s Commerce, Justice and Science; and Homeland Security Subcommittees, and also serves on the Helsinki Commission.
