“I thank the gentleman from Texas. This is a bill that is changing the course of American history, and it is why we need to repeal this bill today. I believe, Madam Speaker, that we will see this bill ultimately repealed. Why? Because it is women who will be hurt under this bill; it is senior citizens who will be hurt under this bill; and it is little vulnerable children who will be hurt under this bill--as well as families, as well as employers. All of America is at the cusp of being negatively impacted. Here is just one example: this bill was sold out of compassion. We wanted people with preexisting conditions to find care, but the reality is less than 1 percent of those with preexisting conditions were able to receive the assistance when the door was slammed shut. Why? We ran out of money. That's what ObamaCare has delivered--a lot of promises that can't be fulfilled. Before we go forward with this train wreck, let's make sure it ends so we can bring about cures, so we can bring about better developments in health care. That's what we want--health care for American citizens.”
