Charleston,
SC
–
U.S.
Senator
Tim
Scott
(R-SC)
released
the
statement
below
following
the
United
States
Supreme
Court’s
ruling
in
King
v.
Burwell.
“I
strongly
disagree
with
how
the
Supreme
Court
has
ruled
today
in
King
v.
Burwell,”
Scott
said.
Unfortunately
for
the
American
people,
the
court’s
decision
means
we
won’t
see
a
stop
to
rising
premiums,
skyrocketing
deductibles
and
the
many
failures
of
Obamacare
hurting
families
across
the
country.
We
recently
learned
that
more
than
a
hundred
thousand
South
Carolinians
will
see
premium
increases
of
up
to
33
percent
next
year,
and
I
fear
that
is
only
the
beginning.”
Scott
continued,
“I
will
continue
working
to
return
our
health
care
system
to
doctors
and
their
patients
instead
of
leaving
it
in
the
hands
of
government
bureaucrats.
This
includes
working
towards
the
repeal
and
replacement
of
Obamacare,
as
well
as
the
passage
of
the
bipartisan
PACE
Act,
which
I
introduced
to
protect
small
and
mid-sized
businesses
and
their
employees
from
significant
premium
increases.”
