The American people spoke loudly and clearly last November. In fact, they have been speaking loudly and clearly ever since this fatally flawed bill called ObamaCare was signed into law. And now we are hours away from the vote that the American people have been waiting years for. This vote can be distilled down to simply this, and each Member of this body must ask themselves this simple question: Are they willing to allow ObamaCare to remain the law of the land? Or are we going to begin to restore healthcare decisions to the American people and their doctors? Those who choose to vote against the American Health Care Act, regardless of how they attempt to justify it, will be voting to keep ObamaCare in place. This is an inescapable fact that will remain long after the smoke and spin and handwringing from political pundits following this vote has gone and disappeared, regardless of how the votes go. There is no such thing as perfect legislation in a body of 435 men and women representing 435 different parts of the Nation. There is consensus among the American people that this law should be repealed and replaced, and today the people's House will either acknowledge the will of the people or we will defy it.
