Gov. Scott Walker speaks at the Road to Majority 2015 convention on Saturday night in Washington.
Gov. Scott Walker says that, if he were president, repealing President Barack Obamas health care law would be a priority in his first 100 days in office.
Walker made the comments Thursday on FOX News On the Record with Greta Van Susteren.
The point of discussion was this weeks U.S. Supreme Court ruling that upheld the federal governments use of tax subsidies to working- and middle-class families to buy health coverage under the law.
Walker said the ruling shows the next president must be someone who would push for a full repeal of the law. Van Susteren asked Walker how he would dismantle the law if he were president.
What I learned from four years ago when I first started as governor, youve got to push big, bold reforms early. So I would work with the next Congress to find that position within the first 60 to 100 days, Walker said. One of the first acts would be to push through a change that would fully repeal Obamacare.
The next step, Walker said, would be to replace it with a health care law that allows patients (to) be in charge of their healthcare decisions and lets the market drive things.
