This week, there have been various media reports on the negotiations at the White House between Republicans and President Obama. Most

of these reports and leaks indicate that Republicans may be promoting deals that retain nearly all of ObamaCare. In response, Representative Tim Huelskamp (KS-1) issued the following statement:

“If true, such an abandonment of conservative principles would dispirit, dismay, and anger the entire conservative base of the Republican party – and for any of my colleagues pushing such a deal, it would seriously jeopardize their future chances of becoming elected leadership in the House. Now is the time to stand firm—not capitulate to the Left.

“It is my hope that Republican leadership will not abandon our principled opposition to ObamaCare. Claiming to oppose ObamaCare while simultaneously allowing 98% of it to move forward would be in direct contradiction to the Pledge to America and nearly every other campaign promise made by Republicans in the last three years.”
