Ms. FOXX. Mr. Speaker, as any hardworking American knows, health insurance costs and regulations impact all of us on a daily basis. Americans need patient-centered solutions to address our healthcare system's key problems, and House Republicans have a better way than the so-called Affordable Care Act to improve health care.

Our plan gives Americans more control and more choices. It makes sure they never have to worry about being turned away or having their coverage taken away, regardless of age, income, medical conditions, or circumstances. Our plan clears out the bureaucracy to accelerate the development of lifesaving devices and therapies, and it protects Medicare for today's seniors and preserves the program for future generations.

This reform can't come soon enough. According to a report by the Kaiser Family Foundation, most North Carolinians are projected to have just one insurer's plan to choose from in the 2017 Federal individual health exchange.

I will not rest until ObamaCare is repealed and we have returned control of medical decisions to doctors and their patients.
