REPEAL AND REPLACE OBAMACARE
(Mr. BROUN of Georgia asked and was given permission to address the
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
Mr. BROUN of Georgia. Like the house built upon the rock, America was
created upon the solid foundation of the Constitution. With the passage
of ObamaCare, liberals have drilled holes in the rock and foundation of
our Nation.
Madam Speaker, I rise today to introduce a bill, H.R. 299, that
restores our economic freedom. It repeals the bureaucratic boondoggle
of ObamaCare and replaces it with commonsense solutions. By allowing
individuals to shop for health care across State lines, the cost of
health care is reduced through basic, free market solutions. Instead of
adding massive new debts to fund an equally massive bureaucracy, my
plan allows people to deduct 100 percent of their health care expenses.
My bill also creates high-risk pools and allows health care
associations to form, empowering Americans to get the coverage that
they need at a much lower cost.
Madam Speaker, residents of the 10th District of Georgia
overwhelmingly oppose ObamaCare. I'm proud to fulfill my commitment to
repeal it and replace it with some commonsense solutions.
