A one-year delay in a key enforcement mechanism of the Affordable Care Act shows “Obamacare” is unworkable and untrustworthy, Oklahoma opponents of the federal health care law said Wednesday.
“This decision is a stunning admission that the Affordable Care Act is unworkable,” said U.S. Sen. Tom Coburn, R-Okla.
“Congress should respond by repealing this deeply flawed law and replacing it with an alternative that puts patients and doctors, rather than bureaucrats, in charge of our health care system.”
U.S. Sen. Jim Inhofe, R-Okla., agreed that the delay points to the need to repeal the law.
The decision shows the federal health care law will “devastate the economy” and is “further proof the law is a looming disaster for Oklahoma businesses,” Inhofe’s press office said in a series of tweets.
