                    AMERICAN SOLUTION TO HEALTHCARE

  (Mr. GENE GREEN of Texas asked and was given permission to address 
the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. GENE GREEN of Texas. Mr. Speaker, the Senate has failed to repeal 
and replace the Affordable Care Act, or the ACA.
  As the President said: Healthcare is hard.
  As Democrats, we didn't receive Republican votes to pass the ACA, but 
it is the law of the land.
  Our job as Members of Congress is to fix laws that are not effective. 
Let's work as Members of Congress not to do a Republican fix or a 
Democratic fix. Let's work together as Americans to find the American 
solution to our healthcare problems. That is what our Founding Fathers 
and our constituents expect from us.
