AHEC Applauds House Vote to Repeal ObamaCare's Onerous 1099 Provision
Calls for Full Repeal of ObamaCare Next


WASHINGTON, DC -- Earlier today, the United States House of Representatives voted for passage of the
Small Business Paperwork Mandate Elimination Act of 2011.  This legislation would repeal only one of the many job killing provisions of ObamaCare - the provision that would require small businesses to report to the IRS anytime the purchased $600 of goods or services from a business in a single year. 

AHEC's spokesperson, Chris Jaarda commented on this vote saying, "This bill will help protect small businesses from one of the truly dangerous provisions of ObamaCare, for that reason its passage is important.  The inclusion of the 1099 provision in ObamaCare was nothing more than a budget gimmick on the part of Congressional Democrats.  Include the 1099 to claim $20 billion in revenue to pass ObamaCare in 2010, pass the 1099 repeal in 2011 to show how 'flexible' the Democrats are with respect to the implementation of ObamaCare.  Its a gimmick and a fraud that has just blown a $20 billion hole in ObamaCare's budget numbers.  Congress should repeal all of ObamaCare today and start over with a healthcare reform bill that will expand consumer choices, creating competition in the free-market is the surest way to expand opportunity of every American."
