Washington, DC – U.S. Rep. Brian Babin (TX-36) voted today to send to the President’s desk a bill to repeal Obamacare. This breakthrough legislation -- the Restoring Americans’ Healthcare Freedom Reconciliation Act (H.R. 3762) -- would dismantle Obamacare, prohibit federal funding for Planned Parenthood and save taxpayers over $500 billion. 

“For the first time ever, an Obamacare repeal bill will now actually reach the President’s desk,” said Rep. Babin. “For years, President Obama has hidden behind the obstruction of Senate Democrats from ever having to defend his disastrous health care law.  While it is certain the President will fully embrace his failed policies and veto this legislation, his actions cannot be overlooked.  As the 2016 Presidential election approaches, the American people will be presented with an important decision.  We cannot afford more of the same policies of President Obama. This legislation shows the American people that there is a better option.  One that is focused on restoring health care freedom, defending the unborn and cutting wasteful spending.  We must provide the American people with an alternative vision to the disastrous policies of this failed President – and this is an important step in that direction.”
