The American People have spoken and they do not want Obama's high-cost, job-killing, conscience-violating healthcare law. But the President refuses to listen. He vetoed Obamacare Reconciliation passed by both the House and Senate to dismantle Obamacare. Americans have lost their insurance plans and their doctors. Their insurance premiums have skyrocketed and some have even lost their jobs because of Obamacare. Yet the Administration just sits by and watches while the American people suffer. Today, the House continues to stand up for the people with this veto override. We will continue to fight for our constituents to defeat Obamacare and defund Planned Parenthood. I urge a ``yes'' vote on this important measure to show the President and the America people that we will not stop until Obamacare is defeated. And that's just the way it is.
