Repeal of Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act

Floor Speech

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. WILSON of South Carolina.

Today, House Republicans will vote for the 37th time to repeal or defund ObamaCare.

Prior to its deal-making passage in 2010, the National Federation of Independent Business, America's largest organization of small businesses, warned that the implementation of the government health care takeover would destroy 1.6 million jobs due to mandates and tax increases, crippling small businesses.

To make matters worse, at a time when our Nation is experiencing record unemployment, President Obama has called on the IRS, an agency currently in the midst of scandal, to hire thousands of new agents to enforce ObamaCare. Based on the recent reports, it is clear that the IRS should not be expanded to include the authorization of controlling health care for the American people.

Today's vote will give us an opportunity to repeal a crucial job-destroying bill that, in turn, will provide small businesses the certainty they need to begin hiring again and to put American families back to work. As a proud cosponsor, I urge my colleagues on both sides of the aisle to vote in favor of the bill.
