Sen. Pat Toomey (R-Pa) is among the co-sponsors of Sen. Ron Johnson’s (R-Wis) “If You Like Your Health Plan, You Can Keep It Act“.
“The President’s promise that those satisfied with their health care would not see a change in coverage was critical to selling it to the American people and to convincing Congressional Democrats to vote for it,” Toomey said. “The President made that promise repeatedly. That promise unfortunately has been broken. I have heard from many Pennsylvanians that their plans will be voided. Millions of other Americans are in the same boat.
“I have long opposed the President’s health care law and believe it cannot be fixed. However, I understand we cannot repeal or defund it as long as Democrats control the Senate and President Obama – who signed it into law – resides in the While House. But we can eliminate some of the most egregious parts. And we should hold the President accountable to the promises he made when attempting to sell this monstrosity to the American people.”
