Let The American People Choose Their Health Care

Floor Speech

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Ms. FOXX. Mr. Speaker, as the American people struggle to make ends meet, too many also live with the challenge of affording basic health care for themselves and their families.

Republicans want to make high-quality health care coverage affordable and accessible for every American and let those who like their current health care coverage keep it. Republicans support health care reform that puts patients and their health first and protects the important doctor-patient relationship.

Democrats are pushing for a government takeover of health care that would have devastating consequences for families and small businesses. A government takeover of health care will raise taxes, ration care, and let government bureaucrats make decisions that should be made by families and their doctors.

Republicans want to empower doctors and patients by making health care more affordable, more accessible, and more accountable. The American people deserve the peace of mind that comes with knowing they have the health care their families need when they need it.

We cannot allow politicians and special interests to stand between patients and the care they need. The American people deserve the freedom to choose the health care that is best for them and their families.
