WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, U.S. Senator John Barrasso (R-Wyo.) released the following statement regarding the Obama Administration’s decision to delay the Obamacare mandate that forces employers to provide expensive, government- mandated health insurance.

"Delaying the employer mandate is a clear admission by the Administration that the health care law is unaffordable, unworkable and unpopular. It’s also a cynical political ploy to delay the coming train wreck associated with Obamacare until after the 2014 elections.

"Every American should have freedom, flexibility and choice when it comes to their health care. No American should have to live under the mandate of Obamacare. We need to repeal this failed law and replace it with a plan that helps all Americans get good, affordable health care."
