Washington, DC – U.S. Representative Brian Babin (TX-36) released the following statement today after voting to override President Obama’s veto of the Restoring Americans’ Healthcare Freedom Reconciliation Act (H.R. 3762), which would dismantle Obamacare, prohibit federal funding for Planned Parenthood and save taxpayers over $500 billion:

“While I am certainly not surprised by the President’s veto and the lack support from Democrats to override it, this entire process shows what is at stake in November.  With a Republican in the White House, the President could sign this bill and finally rid the nation of Obamacare, restore health care freedom and eliminate taxpayer funding of Planned Parenthood.  No longer would the American people have to suffer under Obamacare – and its unaffordable costs, broken promises and countless big government mandates.  Instead, we would put the nation on a path toward patient-focused care rather than government-directed care.”
