FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: February 01, 2012 CONTACT: Apryl Marie Fogel Aprylmarie.Fogel@mail.house.gov Rep. Gosar Votes to Repeal Another Failing Part of ObamaCare Today, U.S. Congressman Paul Gosar, D.D.S (AZ-01) voted for the Fiscal Responsibility and Retirement Security Act of 2011 (H.R. 1173), for which he was a cosponsor. This legislation, which passed the House by a vote of 267–159, repeals the Community Living Assistance Services and Supports (CLASS) Program. The CLASS Program was another poorly designed part of ObamaCare which threatened to continue our nation’s path towards fiscal insolvency. Congressman Gosar celebrated the passage of this legislation, saying “At a time where individuals and businesses are focused on regaining their financial freedom, we do not need to waste money on programs that are destined to fail.” As a dentist for over 25 years, a current member of the GOP Doctor’s Caucus and the Rural Healthcare Caucus Congressman Gosar expressed dismay that today’s legislation was necessary saying, “This Administration’s support of this flawed program, although they admit it is likely to be yet another insolvent program within just a few years, further shows the disconnect that they have with Main Street America. As a small business owner and healthcare provider I was proud to support this bill to repeal the CLASS program.” ## |
