Johnson and Noem react to Supreme Court ruling on Health Care

Posted:

Senator Tim Johnson (D-SD) says he applauds the court ruling.  "This is a huge win for South Dakotans and the nation. I have always believed health care reform was constitutional."

"I look forward to continue working with members of both parties to reduce health care costs and increase health insurance coverage.  The Supreme Court decision upholding the health care reform law gives us the foundation to do just that," Johnson added.

Representative Kristi Noem (R-SD) says she stands with the majority of the American people who oppose government takeover of healthcare.  She says the people of South Dakota need a healthcare plan that decreases costs and increases quality and affordability. 

"South Dakota is filled with small businesses owners that have been telling me for months ever since I've been represent ting them in Washington that they have been grappling with the costs of this bill and trying to decide if they can even offer health insurance to their employees anymore. When the president said they can keep their plan if they liked it, obviously that's proving to not be true."
