House Republicans dedicated to replacing the overreaching health care law

WASHINGTON – U.S. Congresswoman Candice Miller (MI-10) today voted in favor of the Replacing Health Care Law Resolution (H.Res. 9), which instructs the House of Representative committees with jurisdiction over health care to produce legislation designed to provide Americans access to quality, affordable health care.

“With the passage of the Resolution to replace the overreaching, burdensome federal health care law, we continue with our promise to uphold the wishes of the American people. Now we will begin the fully-open and transparent process of creating real health care reforms and solutions for Americans,” Miller said. “House Republicans are committed to lowering the cost of and improving access to health care and protecting the patient-doctor relationship, all without violating the Constitution.”

H. Res. 9 directs the Committee on Education and Labor, the Committee on Energy and Commerce, the Committee on the Judiciary and the Committee on Ways and Means to report replacement health care legislation that focuses on fostering economic growth and private sector job creation, lowering health care premiums through increasing competition, allowing patients to keep their existing health care plans if they choose, providing for access to care for people with pre-existing conditions, protecting the doctor-patient relationship and prohibiting taxpayer funds from being used for abortions.
