Connie Mack Repeats Call for Repeal of Health-Care Laws

As he continues campaigning in his bid to become U.S. House Republican Policy Committee chairman, U.S. Rep. Connie Mack called again for the repeal of new federal health-care laws which were backed by President Barack Obama.

Trying to upset U.S. Rep. Tom Price of Georgia to be the fifth in command of House Republicans, Mack forwarded a memo to his colleagues taking aim at the laws on Tuesday.

An important role of the Policy Committee chairman is to cultivate ideas within our conference and grow them into successful policies that will lead our nation, said Mack. While there are numerous issues facing our nation right now, there are five issues that merit our immediate attention in the next Congress, including repealing Obamacare and enacting free-market-based health care reforms.As Republican Policy Committee chairman, I pledge to my colleagues that I will work with them to pursue legislation that sticks to our core principles of less taxing, less spending, less government, and more freedom.
