Today, U.S. Senator John Barrasso (R-Wyo.) released the following statement on the Supreme Court's Burwell v. Hobby Lobby decision:

"This ruling is a victory for freedom and another blow against the Obama Administration's unprecedented overreach into the lives of Americans. The Justices made it clear that the Administration does not have the power to force religious leaders and organizations in our country to replace their own moral standards with Washington's one-size-fits-all mandate.

"The Supreme Court's decision is also another reminder that the President's health care law was poorly written and continues to hurt more people than it helps. I am committed to replacing this law with a healthcare system that focuses on lowering costs and making sure that more Americans can get the care they need from a doctor they choose."
