Washington, D.C. — U.S. Rep. Bob Etheridge (D-Lillington) released a statement today on the President’s signing, “Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act”:
“Today the President signed into law a common sense plan to reduce sky-rocketing health costs for North Carolina families and small businesses. This new law will make a real difference for real people, starting today. Even before these reforms to help families, seniors and small businesses are implemented, the special interests in Washington are lining up to repeal them. I will oppose those efforts because America cannot afford to go back to the current broken system.”
President Obama signed a House-passed landmark health-care bill into law Tuesday, enacting reform of the nation’s health insurance system.
