I rise in support of repealing the $2.6 trillion Washington takeover of health care. I spent the past year speaking with thousands of Texans in the 23rd District. The message I received was explicit and distinct: Repeal and replace the jobs-destroying health care law. We must reform health care in America. However, we must do so in a way that doesn't destroy jobs but ensures the American people can get the health care that they need when they need it, at a price they can afford, and doesn't put Washington bureaucrats in charge of America's health care.
