                          PERSONAL EXPLANATION

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. DIANE BLACK

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, July 26, 2018

  Mrs. BLACK. Mr. Speaker, I am not recorded for roll call votes on 
Wednesday, July 25, 2018 because I was unavoidably detained. Had I been 
present, I would have voted Aye on final passage for H.R. 6199, the 
Restoring Access to Medication Act (RC No. 377). Expanding health 
savings accounts will give direct assistance to families suffering from 
costly Obamacare premiums, and I am pleased to see provisions of my 
bill to provide first-dollar coverage for chronic diseases in this 
legislation. It is paramount for Americans to have access to the best 
and most affordable health care possible, and I remain dedicated to 
fighting for patient-centered reforms that promote choice and freedom.
