               IT IS TIME TO REPEAL AND REPLACE OBAMACARE

  (Mr. YODER asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. YODER. Mr. Speaker, in 2010, Congress silenced the voices of a 
majority of hardworking Americans and ran roughshod over the House 
minority and jammed a bill through Congress that would put a wet 
blanket of mandates, regulations, taxes, and penalties on patients, 
doctors, hospitals, and small businesses, driving up the cost of 
insurance and health care for most Americans. Longer lines, less 
access, less innovation, and higher costs have been the hallmark of 
this bloated bureaucratic nightmare.
  Today the House will give voice to those who had this law and its 
expense thrust upon them. It is time to repeal and replace ObamaCare 
and move forward in a bipartisan fashion, passing legislation that will 
put patients back in control of their healthcare decisions, focus on 
competition and quality of care, reform our tort litigation system, and 
invest in innovation and research at the NIH, curing diseases, and 
reducing healthcare costs.
  The House will also defund organizations that engage in the horrific 
and sad process of dissecting and harvesting aborted baby organs and 
reinvest that money in organizations that are truly focused on women's 
health care.
  Mr. Speaker, by placing this bill on the President's desk, we have 
given voice to the defenseless, and we have focused on a better future 
of health care for every American.
