“I thank the gentleman from Minnesota for his hard work on this topic. Mr. Speaker, Hoosiers continue to suffer under the negative impacts of ObamaCare each and every day. Despite the House keeping its promise to repeal this disastrous law, the Senate has failed to act. But, fortunately, we have an opportunity today to make a difference, to protect our seniors, and to get rid of one of ObamaCare's worst provisions: the Independent Payment Advisory Board, better known as the IPAB. This board consists of 15 unelected and unaccountable bureaucrats who have the power to ration healthcare for our seniors without any congressional oversight. For an individual patient, this board has the power to make your healthcare decisions for you, and that is not fair. This bill will change that. It disbands the board and ensures our seniors continue to have access to their healthcare that they need. Mr. Speaker, I urge my colleagues to roll back this dangerous ObamaCare provision and to support this commonsense legislation.”
