Ninth District Congressman Doug Collins calls the Senate's failure to repeal major portions of the Affordable Care Act "a failure of process."

“Some of my colleagues across the aisle believe that the Senate’s vote...was heroic," Collins said Friday.  "I believe it was a failure of process, a process that could have included both houses and both parties in a conference committee."

The Gainesville Republican further asserted "People chose not to move forward on solutions for a health care system in crisis, yet the reason we come to these chambers is to move forward."

Collins said Obamacare has brought "Americans in northeast Georgia and across the country nominal positives and crushing negatives," adding, "allowing Obamacare to remain intact today is no victory for them and only darkens the shadow that has hung over America’s health care landscape for seven years.”

The Senate vote came early Friday morning.
