The following information was released by California Assemblyman Jim Silva.

Today, Assemblyman Jim Silva (R- Huntington Beach), a member of the Assembly Committee on Health, issued a statement regarding the United States Supreme Court’s decision to uphold the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, also known as ObamaCare.

“I am extremely disappointed in the Court’s ruling,” said Silva. “This decision and the reasoning behind it leave Congress with virtually limitless authority to tax any action or inaction a person chooses to take. This is a direct assault on freedom.”

Assemblyman Jim Silva represents the 67th Assembly District, which includes the communities of Anaheim, Cypress, Garden Grove, Huntington Beach, La Palma, Los Alamitos, Rossmoor, Seal Beach, Stanton, Sunset Beach and Westminster.
