WASHINGTON–U.S. Senator John Boozman (R-AR) released the following statement regarding the Senate plan to proceed with vote to repeal Obamacare: 

“It’s clear that an agreement on the proposed legislation to repeal and immediately replace Obamacare is not in the cards. 

That should not be taken as an indicator that our commitment to provide relief to the millions of Americans who have been hurt by Obamacare has weakened by any means. Americans deserve a system that ensures access to affordable, quality care for all and we intend to make that a reality. 

I support the Majority Leader’s decision to move forward with a repeal of Obamacare with a transition period, so we can work together to replace this failed program with market-based solutions that will bring the changes that Obamacare, and all its broken promises, simply cannot deliver.”
