“Over the past year, I've met with thousands of people from throughout Florida's Fifth Congressional District, whether they be small business owners, veterans, or Medicare recipients. They asked me to promise, promise to repeal ObamaCare. It's clear that the American people know more than our Democratic leadership in regards to what Americans want. ObamaCare eliminates millions of American jobs, cuts hundreds of millions of dollars from Medicare, raises taxes by almost $500 billion over 10 years for 6 years' worth of coverage. Everybody knows that the health care system is broken and that reform is needed. However, the unconstitutional, job-killing mandates of ObamaCare are not the answer. House Resolution 9 is an important step in Congress working with the American public to find real, meaningful solutions to our Nation's health care needs. This is the people's House, and we should be listening to the people. House Resolution 9 will allow us to foster economic growth, job creation, lower health care premiums and protect Medicare, and reform the medical malpractice system that is bankrupting America.”
