Today, the House passed H.R. 3762, the Restoring Americans’ Healthcare Freedom Reconciliation Act, by a vote of (240-181). Among other actions, H.R. 3762 would gut Obamacare and end all federal funding for Planned Parenthood. It is the first bill eliminating key parts of Obamacare that has passed both the House and Senate, and it will be sent to the President’s desk later this week. Following passage of the bill, Congressman French Hill (AR-02) stated:

“As House Republicans have said for some time now, the best path toward killing Obamacare and defunding Planned Parenthood is through budget reconciliation. For those in Congress who are determined to gut Obamacare in its entirety, today signifies a major win in bringing down the fortress Harry Reid and Senate Democrats have built around this disaster of a law. Today likely won’t be the end of the road in this fight, but if the President vetoes this bill, it will be clear to the American people that Washington Democrats not only created the problem, but they are also now unmistakably responsible for blocking the solution.

“I remain committed to replacing this ill-conceived law with real, patient-centered healthcare reform that expands more affordable and accessible coverage that meets the needs of American and Arkansan families.”
