Tuesday on Fox Business Network’s “Varney & Co.,” Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX) responded to questions from host Stuart Varney about Congress’ inaction on health care and tax reform despite Republicans having control of the White House and both chambers of Congress.
Gohmert insisted a resolution on Obamacare, which he called an “Orwellian oligarchy,” must be reached before August.
“[I]t’s not so much that it is bureaucrats deciding what is best for you,” Gohmert said. “It’s bureaucrats rationing health care and deciding, ‘Well, you have had a good life, or maybe, ‘You don’t have a chance of much more of a life, so you won’t get help. But, this person over here may do something great.’ It is government deciding who is going to contribute more to society. So, therefore, who gets the treatment. It is where it goes when you get into this Orwellian oligarchy. It has got to stop and has got to stop before August.”
