I come to the floor to congratulate my colleague, the senior Senator from Wyoming, whom I have worked with for many years and who has been a true leader in true health care reform with proposals he has made that would actually help people get affordable care. The Obama health care law, regardless of the ruling of the Supreme Court, continues to be an expensive failure. There have been so many broken promises by this President about health care in America, which, to me, is the reason this health care law--the support for it across the country remains at an alltime low. People were promised that if they liked their coverage, they could keep their coverage. Millions have lost coverage. The President promised: If you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor.

They are paying more in premiums, higher copays, and higher deductibles, all of which makes it a bad deal for them personally. I would say that ObamaCare cannot be fixed, but health care in America must be fixed. They say: What are you going to do about it as a Republican? There are incredible Republican plans out there, each of which is much better than the President's health care law.…

The Democrats continue to talk about everything they want to talk about, except actually securing the border and protecting the American people.
