WASHINGTON – Republican National Committee (RNC) Chairman Reince Priebus released the following statement on the Supreme Court’s decision to hear the challenge to ObamaCare:

“The Supreme Court’s decision to consider the constitutionality of ObamaCare offers Americans hope that we may soon be freed of the one size fits all mandates and regulations of this disastrous policy. Republicans recognize that ObamaCare’s mandates are not only unconstitutional, but they also serve as a roadblock to economic recovery. Forced to take on additional costs, small businesses are unable to expand and hire new workers at a time when Americans desperately need jobs.

“Hopefully, the Supreme Court will recognize ObamaCare as an egregious assault on states’ rights. Then, America can focus on real market-based reforms that can expand coverage and lower costs.”
