for seven long years, this feeling law has hurt more people than it s helped. families can afford their premiums. patients can t visit the doctor that they like, and fewer insurers are offering coverage options every day. it s getting worse. with president trump now in office, house republicans are taking action to deliver relief to americans now. this week, house republicans have introduced legislation to repeal this filling law and help ensure americans have access to tailor to their needs, not health care dictated and tailored to washington s needs. the american health care act power back to. we restore state control of health care so it can be designed for the families and communities in each state. americans have a greater choice of product to tailored to what
we are going to discuss this in just a moment. we re also following breaking news on the other side of the hill. house republicans right now defending laying out rolling out the obamacare replacement bill. let s listen in. to not pull the rug out from anyone, including those on medicaid. we are also creating a new and repair the damage done to state insurance markets by obamacare and we return power back to the states. we strengthened medicaid and prioritize help for our nation s most vulnerable. simply put, we believe we have a better way to deliver solutions to patients, not washington bureau kratzs first. we provide the american people what we ve asked for and what they ve asked for. greater choice. lower costs and flexibility to choose the plan that best suits their family s needs. introduction of this bill is just the first step in helping american families across the country obtain truly affordable health care and we re eager to get started. now turn it over to my colleague,
the entire conference, across the philosophical spectrum about how best to restore state control. how best to return create a free market and how to make sure we do that in a way that balances in the budget. we looked very seriously at the option of actually providing the same health care available work to others through the exclusion. at the end of the day, our conference, the direction they gave us was that was not a provision they were comfortable today. and so we decided to again go a different direction. yeah? will this cover more americans or less americans than it covers right now? will it cover more americans with affordable health care than today is probably the key question. here s what i know in texas in our district. more people have opted out, found a way to get out of obamacare than are taking it. and those who have it, frankly,

so in the ways and means committee, our role is first to act now, dismantle obamacare s unpopular taxes and mandates that have hurt jobs and driven up health care costs. to enhance and strengthen health saving ofs accounts so people can spend their health care tax dollars the way they need to. and we re going to help low and middle income americans access affordable, quality health care with a monthly tax credit. it s immediately available. as health and human services secretary price wrote today, this morning, our legislation aligns with the president s goal of rescuing americans from the failures of the affordable care act. secretary price also wrote that our bill, our bills are a necessary and important first step toward fulfilling our promises toward the american people. i encourage you to read the bill and cover our action tomorrow.
