Repeal of Obamacare Act

Floor Speech

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mrs. NOEM. I thank the gentleman for yielding.

Mr. Speaker, I rise today to support this bill, which would repeal the President's health care law.

We've known all along that this bill will cut a half a trillion dollars out of Medicare. We've known all along that up to 20 million Americans could lose their employer-sponsored health care coverage. We've known all along that this health care law has only made costs go up rather than go down or decrease since its passage. However, we now know that buried within the 2,700 pages of this bill is yet another tax that is going to hit and fall on the middle class. This is in addition to the nearly two dozen tax increases already in the law on everything from over-the-counter prescription medication to pacemakers.

The American people were given a laundry list of promises, but very little of what was promised has turned out to be true. We owe it to every taxpayer, to every senior--to every American--to repeal this law and to pass real solutions that don't put Washington in charge of our health care.
