Location: Washington, DC
Issues: Health Insurance Government Budget and Spending Reproduction

Congressman Steve Scalise (R-La.) today issued the following statement regarding House passage of HR 2762, the Restoring Americans' Healthcare Freedom Reconciliation Act of 2015. The bill now heads to the President's desk.

"This important vote by the House finally puts a bill on President Obama's desk that guts Obamacare and also defunds Planned Parenthood," Rep. Scalise said. "We have been working hard to get a bill on the President's desk that forces him to confront the many failures of his healthcare law, while also denying taxpayer funds to groups who perform abortions. If the President vetoes this important legislation, it will further underscore the importance of electing a President this November who shares our American values and who will sign this critical bill into law."
