Bilirakis Statement on House v. Burwell

May 12, 2016

Congressman Gus Bilirakis (R-FL) released the following statement regarding the federal court ruling in House v. Burwell:

"The court has confirmed what we have known for a long time now – the administration's health care law has overstepped. Our constitution, and the American taxpayers, deserve our protection and I am proud the court has helped take a necessary step in the fight for the people. Taxpayer money must go through the approval process of their representatives. As a representative of Florida's twelfth district, I will continue fighting for my constituents to ensure that their money is being spent in a legal, and beneficial manner. This is just one of the many problems the President's health care law has presented to our nation. I am working diligently to bring about necessary reforms to help the patients, families, and communities across the nation. "
