Chief Deputy Whip Patrick McHenry (R, NC-10) released the following statement after House passage of H.R. 3762, the Restoring Americans' Healthcare Freedom and Reconciliation Act of 2015:

“When the American people returned Republicans to power in Congress, we committed to doing everything within our power to dismantle President Obama’s disastrous healthcare law. Today’s vote continues that effort. 

“This vital legislation targets Obamacare’s egregious and excessive mandates which have harmed Western North Carolinians the most. With passage of this reconciliation bill we fully repeal the law’s individual and employer mandates, we stop the job-killing medical device tax, and end a number of the law’s other mandates. Additionally, our bill redirects funding away from Planned Parenthood and instead devotes it to community health centers like those serving my constituents in the 10th District. 

“Now this legislation moves to the Senate. It is my sincere hope our colleagues on the other side of the Capitol will act quickly to pass this bill and send it to President Obama’s desk. Then it will be up to President Obama to decide whether he wants to continue to defend his broken law or instead offer the American people the much-needed relief they deserve.”
