                  A BETTER WAY TO IMPROVE HEALTH CARE

  (Ms. FOXX asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Ms. FOXX. Mr. Speaker, as any hardworking American knows, health 
insurance costs and regulations impact all of us on a daily basis. 
Americans need patient-centered solutions to address our healthcare 
system's key problems, and House Republicans have a better way than the 
so-called Affordable Care Act to improve health care.
  Our plan gives Americans more control and more choices. It makes sure 
they never have to worry about being turned away or having their 
coverage taken away, regardless of age, income, medical conditions, or 
circumstances. Our plan clears out the bureaucracy to accelerate the 
development of lifesaving devices and therapies, and it protects 
Medicare for today's seniors and preserves the program for future 
generations.
  This reform can't come soon enough. According to a report by the 
Kaiser Family Foundation, most North Carolinians are projected to have 
just one insurer's plan to choose from in the 2017 Federal individual 
health exchange.
  I will not rest until ObamaCare is repealed and we have returned 
control of medical decisions to doctors and their patients.
