Mr. Speaker, I stand today in strong opposition to Republican attempts to repeal and dismantle our health care law, the law that Congress has passed to give health care to the American people. Mr. Speaker, this repeal bill may fulfill an…

Mr. Speaker, with the exception of a liberal in Congress, the only person that would suggest that this ObamaCare law would actually reduce the deficit has got to be an Enron accountant. If you look at this bill, it rations care, it raises…
