We have heard numerous comments from the left extolling the virtues of ObamaCare, and I think it is instructive to hear the words of a former Democratic President that is beloved by the left. Here is what he said less than 6 months ago: ``So you've got this crazy system where all of a sudden 25 million more people have health care and then the people who are out there busting it, sometimes 60 hours a week, wind up with their premiums doubled and their coverage cut in half. It's the craziest thing in the world.'' Mr. Speaker, hardworking American families in my district, they don't want crazy. They want the American Health Care Act, a sane plan that gives them their freedom back. In a few minutes, Mr. Speaker, you are going to hear somebody from the other side say that a bunch of my constituents are going to lose coverage. That is absolutely false. Those constituents are getting their freedom back to choose whether or not they want healthcare coverage and what kind of healthcare coverage they want. I say vote ``yes.''
