| Our first legislative priority of 2016 was to vote on a bill that would repeal Obamacare and defund Planned Parenthood. Because of an unruly Senate, this legislation marks the first time ever that a full repeal bill was sent straight to the president’s desk. As a healthcare provider, we owe it to the American people to provide lower costs and higher quality healthcare. The legislation we voted on, The Restoring Americans’ Healthcare Freedom Reconciliation Act, will gut Obamacare and reduce our nation’s deficit by $516 billion dollars. A full repeal of Obamacare will put us on a path toward an affordable, patient-centered alternative so that families can be put back in charge of their healthcare.
This week the president made an attempt to restrict our access to guns. As a concealed carry permit holder, I will not allow for him to trample on our right to bear arms. President Obama remains under the impression that he is above the law as he is — once again — working around Congress to demonstrate a flagrant disregard toward our Constitutional rights. Please know that I will not stand for this deliberate attack.
In addition to the legislation of this week, I had a chance to talk to some students from North Carolina and visit with our servicemen and women at a new Fayetteville VA health care center. I hope you will scroll down to view some of the photos.
As always, please call our Asheboro, Dunn or D.C. offices if there is ever anything we can do for you.
