Mr. Speaker, this Friday marks the second anniversary of ObamaCare. Since that day 2 years ago, we've seen multiple reports and heard firsthand the disastrous effects of the law that allowed the Federal Government to take over our health care system. People in the Fifth District of North Carolina tell me they're worried about the cost of health care and about the 15-person board that will be making decisions about their health care. The President and Democrats said, ``If you like your health care plan, you can keep it.'' But now we know this is not the case. The Independent Payment Advisory Board will pick and choose what should be cut from Medicare medical services. And they will do so without any accountability to the American people, to Congress, or to even the President. As we prepare to vote on another bill that would repeal another part of this disastrous law, we should remember that Americans should have the freedom to make their own health care decisions, Mr. Speaker, and ObamaCare takes that away. It's time to repeal ObamaCare for good, either in whole or in part. ____________________
