            By Mr. WALDEN:
        H.R. 5110.
        Congress has the power to enact this legislation pursuant 
     to the following:
       Consistent with the original understanding of the commerce 
     clause, the authority to enact this legislation is found in 
     Article 1, Section 8 of the U.S. Constitution.
       The SAVE Medicare Home Health Act repeals the rebasing cuts 
     to home health services contained in the Patient Protection 
     and Affordable Care Act. These cuts restrict patient access 
     to home health services and reduce patient-centered control 
     of health care decisions. By removing these cuts, the bill 
     removes government intrusion into the doctor-patient 
     relationship, which is protected by the 9th and 10th 
     Amendments to the Constitution.
