Occurrences in the Congressional Record

Entry Title Date
Repeal President’S Health Care Law May 16, 2013
Michael Fitzpatrick, R-PA
"Today, I urge Members of Congress to fully repeal the health care law and, in doing so, take the first step to replacing it with commonsense solutions for all Americans—like allowing people to purchase health coverage across State lines; stopping frivolous lawsuits against our doctors; clearing individuals to receive tax credits just like large businesses; and letting Americans keep control of the health care that works best for them."
The Irs May 16, 2013
Marco Rubio, R-FL
"We talked about the IRS for a moment. The IRS is going to be on the frontlines of enforcing the health care law. This is the same agency of government that has for the most part over the last few years, now by admission of everyone involved, been abusing power—at least some of their employees have. I don’t want to besmirch the entire agency. As Senator Hatch was saying a few minutes ago, there are very good people at work all throughout government who would never participate in this sort of behavior."
Why The Affordable Care Act Must Be Repealed May 15, 2013
Leonard Lance, R-NJ
"Internal documents from the Nation’s largest health insurance companies reveal the health care law‘s policies, mandates, taxes, and fees will cause major premium increases for consumers, the individual, the small group and large group markets; and I think it might be particularly onerous on young people who are just starting out at a time when the economy is not as strong as any of us would like."
Health Care May 15, 2013
John Barrasso, R-WY
"For starters, the American people would like to know who exactly the Secretary called. What did she ask? What specific legal authority permits the Secretary or any other HHS employee to solicit financial donations to implement the health care law? Which HHS officials participated in the decision to ask for these donations? Did anyone else at HHS ask for donations from outside groups and businesses? Did any other Obama administration officials make similar solicitations? What specific steps has Health and Human Services taken to ensure the Obama administration will not favor businesses and organizations that gave money or punish those that did not donate?"
Repealing The Affordable Care Act May 14, 2013
Dave Joyce, R-OH
"I rise in support of repealing the Affordable Care Act and preventing Ohioans from having to deal with higher health costs, $1.1 trillion in tax hikes, and more government intrusion in their health care. As we near the full implementation of the health care law, it seems as though every day we receive more evidence that this law will increase health costs for ordinary Ohioans, place an enormous burden on Ohio small businesses owners—making it harder for those businesses to hire new workers—and insert more big government in between Ohioans and their doctors."
