Cole Votes to Override Veto of Obamacare Repeal

February 2, 2016

Washington, D.C. – Congressman Tom Cole (OK-04) released the following statement after he voted to override the president's veto of legislation to repeal Obamacare and withhold funds from abortion providers like Planned Parenthood.

"Republicans have long agreed with the majority of the American people that Obamacare does much more harm than good," said Cole. "The president's law not only damages the economy, but it punishes more Americans than helps through higher premiums, lost coverage and unfair mandates. While it comes as no surprise that the president vetoed the legislation to repeal Obamacare and withhold public funding for abortion providers, this vote in the House shows that lawmakers will continue to fight for the conservative priorities held by their constituents."
