Washington, DC,
February 3, 2015
Congressman French Hill (AR-2) spoke on the floor today in support of H.R. 596, to repeal the President’s failed health care law, which the House passed by a vote of 239 – 186. In part, Congressman Hill stated: “[This bill] provides the Congress with a clean slate to implement the real, patient-centered health care reform that this nation needs and deserves.… This is an opportunity to recognize the flaws of mandates and a top-down approach to health care, and allows us to finally consider ideas that will result in a health care system that empowers and encourages individuals to take control of and responsibility for their health care through the use of tools like health savings accounts and incentives that reward healthy behaviors.” Congressman Hill is a cosponsor of H.R. 596.
