In announcing its decision today, the United States Supreme Court ruled that Obamacare met the basic constitutional threshold; however, in doing so, the Court held that the only way the individual mandate portion could survive is to call it exactly what it is – a new tax on the American people.

This judicial ruling does not in any way change the fact that this misguided policy is bad for our country. As a majority of hard-working Americans agree, the time has come to completely dismantle Obamacare and the new tax it will levy upon middle-class Americans with the understanding that we should instead move forward with common sense solutions to America’s healthcare system.

Steven Horsford, Danny Tarkanian’s general election opponent, has stood firmly with the President and Washington liberals as they rammed through this new 2,700-page tax increase Nevadans will be forced to pay – further evidence that Horsford’s priority is to provide political support to President Obama rather than find real solutions that will help more Americans receive affordable healthcare without increasing taxes on individuals and small businesses and stymieing their ability to prosper and create more jobs..

During the two years that Obamacare has been in existence, it has already helped inflate the national debt, destroy jobs, cripple our economy and jeopardize the

economic future of our children and grandchildren – and over the next two years small businesses will suffer the full brunt of the law with new burdensome regulations and increased taxes set to go into effect. The time has come to start over by repealing the entirety of this law and enacting common sense solutions that will take healthcare decisions out of the hands of liberal politicians like Steven Horsford and put them back in the hands of the individual.

United States Congress candidate Danny Tarkanian (NV-4) responded to the ruling, “I have consistently stood against Obamacare and remain committed to its full repeal. Rather, we need to press forward with legislation that will extend the same tax incentives that businesses receive for providing health insurance to individuals who purchase their own plans. We need to get serious about tort reform and stabilize Medicare reimbursement rates. We need to make insurance portable and purchasable across state lines.

“When they should be focusing on promoting economic growth and creating jobs, Democrats insist instead on ramming through job-killing policies that increase taxes on Americans, like Obamacare. The American people deserve solutions for the economy and healthcare worthy of the 21st century not the same failed, one-size-fits-all, top-down approaches that Democrats like Steven Horsford adhere to,” Tarkanian concluded.
