               RESTORING HEALTHCARE FREEDOM FOR AMERICANS

  (Mr. LaMALFA asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. LaMALFA. Mr. Speaker, after 5 years, the promises of ObamaCare 
that it would save families $2500 or so per year, let you keep your 
doctor, and let you keep your insurance plan have all been proven 
false.
  In my district, rates will be seen again going up an additional 30 
percent likely this year. People can no longer see their family doctor. 
Many people have been forced from their health insurance plans on to 
more expensive plans with less coverage and a higher deductible.
  Thanks to a budget procedure known as reconciliation, we have avoided 
a Senate filibuster and placed a bill rolling back ObamaCare on the 
President's desk. This is a promise kept for restoring healthcare 
freedom for Americans.
  If the President vetoes this measure, congressional Democrats have a 
choice to make. Will they side with Americans who need real reforms to 
the healthcare system and override this veto or with a President 
concerned solely with his legacy and a status quo that is destroying 
access to care and driving up costs? I wonder.
