Rep. Calvert Votes to Send Obamacare Repeal to the President’s Desk

Today, Congressman Ken Calvert (CA-42) issued the following statement after voting along with a majority of the House (240 to 181) to approve legislation that will repeal Obamacare and defund Planned Parenthood:

"A majority of my constituents continue to oppose Obamacare and a health care system that is controlled by Washington bureaucrats instead of doctors and patients. For the first time since the law was passed, Congress will be sending an Obamacare repeal to the President's desk. I have and will continue to oppose Obamacare and its policies that reduce the quality, access and affordability of health care for far too many families.

The legislation passed by the House today also defunds Planned Parenthood because American tax dollars should not fund organizations that place so little value on life and where illegal actions have been taken."
