This week, the U.S. House of Representatives will vote on H.R. 596, legislation to repeal and replace Obamacare. ATR supports this bill and urges members to vote yes.
The legislation, introduced by Representative Bradley Byrne (R-Ala.), will repeal Obamacare 180 days after the law is enacted to allow has time to enact free market reforms that provide American families with lower medical costs, stronger care and protect the doctor-patient relationship.
Put simply, Obamacare has not worked how its supporters have hoped. It has raised the cost of healthcare for millions of Americans, cost countless more their jobs and created thousands of complex and unnecessary regulations. Obamacare also contains dozens of tax increases so repealing the law will reduce the taxes of American families.
Americans deserve a healthcare system that provides them with affordable and efficient care, not one that is overly complex and leads to uncertainty. This legislation will help give Americans the healthcare system that they need and deserve.
