HUDSON VOTES TO GUT OBAMACARE, DEFUND PLANNED PARENTHOOD
 
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, U.S. Representative Richard Hudson (NC-08) released the following statement after voting for the Restoring Americans’ Health Care Freedom Act of 2015 (H.R. 3762), a bill to repeal key parts of Obamacare and defund Planned Parenthood for a year while redirecting those savings to community health centers:
 
“I made a promise to my constituents that I’d fight to repeal and replace Obamacare with health care that puts them first. While today’s bill is not perfect, it dismantles the key pillars of Obamacare, providing families and small businesses relief and making this harmful law crumble like a house of cards.
 
“In addition, it places a moratorium on funding for Planned Parenthood to protect the unborn and ensure our tax dollars committed to women’s health are used to give women access to health care - not to abort and traffic little babies. I encourage my colleagues in the Senate to do what’s right by the American people and vote to send the president a bill that guts Obamacare.”
 
Earlier this year, Congress passed a balanced budget agreement which allows for a reconciliation bill to proceed. In the Senate, such a bill is filibuster proof and requires only a simple majority to pass. The reconciliation bill includes language from legislation introduced by Rep. Hudson in the 113th Congress to repeal the Auto-Enroll Mandate of Obamacare, freeing businesses to create jobs and allowing Americans the choice to keep more of their paychecks.    
 
In addition, H.R. 3762:
  • Repeals the Individual Mandate
  • Repeals the Employer Mandate
  • Repeals the 40 Percent Excise Tax, or “Cadillac Tax,” on High Cost Health Plans
  • Repeals the Medical Device Tax
  • Repeals the Prevention and Public Health Fund, an unaccountable Obamacare slush fund
