Sullivan Statement on King v. Burwell Decision
WASHINGTON, DC – U.S. Senator Dan Sullivan (R-AK) released the following statement today after the U.S. Supreme Court handed down its decision in the King v. Burwell case, upholding ObamaCare’s subsidies:
“From its inception, ObamaCare has been a catastrophe. It has failed to deliver on the promises made by its supporters, particularly in Alaska. Premiums for Alaskans are skyrocketing. Many are facing insurance rate-increases of up to 38 percent next year. Thousands have lost their plans and have lost their doctors. Quality of care has decreased. Insurance companies are leaving the state, and when the so-called “Cadillac Tax” kicks in, thousands of Alaskan workers will be paying even more in taxes. In short, ObamaCare, or as Supreme Court Justice Scalia called it, ‘Scotuscare,’ has been a disaster for Alaska. Therefore, I am extremely disappointed with the Supreme Court’s decision. I, and my colleagues in the Senate, remain committed to repealing this disastrous law and replacing it with patient-centered reforms.”
