U.S. Senator Roy Blunt (Mo.) issued the following statement today following the House of Representatives’ vote to repeal the health care law:

“I applaud my House colleagues for keeping their word and voting to repeal this burdensome health care law. Voters in Missouri and across America overwhelmingly rejected this job-destroying bill, and the House vote today is a critical first step as we work to repeal and replace this flawed legislation. I’m committed to examining all of the tools at our disposal to bring this fight to the Senate floor where the American people expect to see an up or down vote.” – U.S. Senator Roy Blunt (Mo.)
