Oregon's Walden heads key Obamacare repeal committee [View all]

Rep. Greg Walden, the lone Republican in the Oregon Congressional delegation, heads a committee that is poised to play a key role in repealing the Affordable Care Act.

The Energy and Commerce Committee, which Walden chairs, will soon get to work on repeal through the budget reconciliation process, along with Ways and Means and other committees.

Rep. Greg Walden said he's hard at work cleaning up the "horrific mess" of Obamacare.

The U.S. House of Representatives today took the first step in repealing President Obama’s signature law by passing a budget resolution.
“Today’s vote allows House committees to get to work on repealing Obamacare and rebuilding our health care system,” Walden said in a statement. “Put simply, Obamacare is a mess. We’re ready to begin advancing solutions that will help families, lower costs, and restore fairness in the relationship between patients and their doctors. Critical work lies ahead, and we are up to the task of delivering badly needed relief for patients.”
