Bilirakis Applauds Supreme Court's Decision to Defend Religious Freedom

"I applaud the Supreme Court's decision to defend religious freedom, a founding American principle. The President's health care law is full of provisions and mandates that force Americans into compliance with a law that is neither affordable nor workable. This HHS mandate and the health care law either forced people to violate their personal and religious beliefs, or pay fines. This is not the way the government should operate, and I am pleased to see the Supreme Court check the unnecessary insertion of the federal government into a family's religious beliefs."
