Ladies and gentlemen, let me tell you why people would vote to repeal the Affordable Care Act. It has become very, very clear that no matter how well-intentioned it may have been, it will not work. Time after time, we are finding that the things that they told us just aren't panning out to be true; and Senator Max Baucus, one of the law's main architects, recently described ObamaCare as a huge train wreck coming down. We have a chance to save Americans from being casualties of the train wreck. We can yank them off the tracks. Today, I voted to show that I am trying to do just that. I call on the United States Senate and the Senators to join us in rescuing the American people from the tracks of health care destruction. ____________________
