Dr. Coburn’s Statement on Administration’s Decision to Delay Employee Mandate

(WASHINGTON, D.C.) – U.S. Senator Tom Coburn, M.D. (R-OK) released the following statement today regarding the Obama Administration’s decision to delay the employee mandate provision of the Patient’s Protection and Affordable Care Act until 2015:

"This decision is a stunning admission that the Affordable Care Act is unworkable. 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.”
