Congressmen Mark Meadows (R., N.C.) and Jim Jordan (R., Ohio) have called on their Republican colleagues to vote on H.R. 3762, which would repeal the Affordable Care Act through budget reconciliation.
The process could be used to repeal parts of Obamacare with only 51 votes in the Senate and would allow Republicans to overcome a Democratic filibuster.
"Health care will be better and more affordable once Obamacare is repealed," the congressmen said in a joint statement. "We committed to the American people to repeal every tax, every mandate, the regulations, and to defund Planned Parenthood."
"That’s what the American people expect us to do—and they expect us to do it quickly," they said. "Therefore we strongly encourage Republican leadership on Capitol Hill to take up the Affordable Care Act repeal bill that already passed the House, the Senate, and went to President Obama’s desk in early 2016."
"There’s no reason we should put anything less on President Trump’s desk than we put on President Obama’s now that we know it will be signed into law," said Meadows and Jordan. "We strongly encourage that this bill be brought to the floor for consideration as soon as possible so we can begin undoing this law that is hurting American families."
