The Independence Hall Tea Party Association, with thousands of members and friends in Central and South Jersey, is praising Gov. Chris Christie for vetoing the latest Health Insurance Exchange bill to reach his desk.
Christie vetoed the bill with hours to spare before the deadline.
“At least 21 states are now refusing to set up exchanges and we are glad Governor Christie has joined Governors John Kasich (R-OH), Scott Walker (R-WI), and others in rejecting this burdensome feature of ObamaCare,” said Association President Teri Adams.
“Implementing a state Health Insurance Exchange could have prove extremely costly–especially when one considers the federal mandates that could apply,” said Burlington County resident and Association Board Member Bill Green. “We realize the Federal government will attempt to set up exchanges for states that refuse to do so. But state refusal to implement exchanges will make the implementation of ObamaCare much more difficult.”
