On the recordJanuary 18, 2011
Like the house built upon the rock, America was created upon the solid foundation of the Constitution. With the passage of ObamaCare, liberals have drilled holes in the rock and foundation of our Nation. Madam Speaker, I rise today to introduce a bill, H.R. 299, that restores our economic freedom. It repeals the bureaucratic boondoggle of ObamaCare and replaces it with commonsense solutions. By allowing individuals to shop for health care across State lines, the cost of health care is reduced through basic, free market solutions. Instead of adding massive new debts to fund an equally massive bureaucracy, my plan allows people to deduct 100 percent of their health care expenses. My bill also creates high-risk pools and allows health care associations to form, empowering Americans to get the coverage that they need at a much lower cost. Madam Speaker, residents of the 10th District of Georgia overwhelmingly oppose ObamaCare. I'm proud to fulfill my commitment to repeal it and replace it with some commonsense solutions.
