METAIRIE, LA – House Majority Whip Steve Scalise (R-La.) today issued the following statement regarding reports that Obamacare premiums are set to increase by an average of over 20 percent nationwide:

“The truth about Obamacare could not be more clear. For hardworking American families, it means skyrocketing costs, lost coverage, and fewer choices. This law is not working, and it is putting Americans’ health at risk. It is time to repeal Obamacare once and for all, and replace it with patient-centered reforms that finally make quality healthcare affordable and accessible to every American.”
