Members of Georgia’s Congressional delegation, including both senators, voiced their disagreement with the U.S. Supreme Court’s 5-4 ruling released Thursday in favor of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act.

The justices’ ruling upheld many provisions of the law, including what is referred to as the individual mandate.

"I am sorely disappointed that the Court has upheld the individual mandate as a legal tax on the American people," said Sen. Johnny Isakson. "Today’s ruling does not change the fact that there have been enormous problems trying to implement this terribly-flawed law and that it must be repealed and replaced with a step-by-step approach that makes health care more accessible, affordable and competitive."

Said U.S. Sen. Saxby Chambliss: "I am disappointed in today’s decision. While I believe the individual mandate to directly contradict the Constitution, we must respect the decision of the court. However, this is not the final chapter in the healthcare-reform debate. I will continue to push to repeal the law, and urge Congress and the next administration to work to replace Obamacare. 

"This law adds new taxes on an already overtaxed population, and adds regulation to an already over-regulated industry. We must address the skyrocketing costs of health care and its impact on individuals, families and small businesses while working together on transparent and measured reforms to ensure that everyone has access to quality and affordable care."

U.S. Rep. Jack Kingston (R-Savannah) said the law will not improve or lower the cost of health care.

"In fact, it does just the opposite," he said. "It will continue to be a drag on the economy as businesses are reluctant to hire new employees until they know all the cost and ramifications of the new mandates  Therefore I will work for its repeal and to replace it with reforms that bring down the cost of care without increasing the size of government."

Said U.S. Rep. John Barrow (D-Augusta):

"This health care legislation was flawed from the beginning, which is why I voted against this law in committee and twice on the House floor. For the most part, the Supreme Court has ruled that the law doesn’t violate the Constitution, but that won’t fix the problems the law doesn’t solve, and it won’t fix the problems the law actually makes worse. We have to cut spending and cut health costs, but it starts with rejecting the false choice being offered by both parties, that it’s all or nothing."

House Majority Leader Eric Cantor has announced that the House will vote the week of July 9 to again repeal and replace the law.
