Restoring Americans' Healthcare Freedom Reconciliation Act of 2015

Floor Speech

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. ALLEN. Mr. Speaker, I thank the gentleman for his great work on this important legislation.

Today I rise in support of H.R. 3762, the Restoring Americans' Healthcare Freedom Reconciliation Act of 2015. This legislation will dismantle ObamaCare and defund Planned Parenthood.

This bill guts ObamaCare's individual and employer mandates and repeals the costly Cadillac and medical device taxes. It protects society's most innocent--the unborn--and also provides additional funding for community health centers so that women can continue to have access to the quality care they deserve.

We need to expand patient choice. We need to give the American people choice. We need to make health care more affordable by offering patient-centered and cost-effective reforms. Most of all, we need to give a voice to the voiceless.

This is a historic moment. After passing the House today, the bill will go straight to the President's desk and President Obama will be forced to vote on repealing ObamaCare and defunding Planned Parenthood for the first time. He will have to choose between dismantling a costly and disastrous law and preventing disregard for human life or protecting his own political legacy.

Colleagues in the House, please join me and vote in favor of the Restoring Americans' Healthcare Freedom Reconciliation Act of 2015.
