Womack Statement on Budget Reconciliation

Statement

Date: Oct. 22, 2015
Location: Washington, DC
Issues: Abortion Health Insurance

Congressman Steve Womack (AR-3) today released the following statement after House passage of the Restoring Americans' Healthcare Freedom Reconciliation Act (H.R. 3762):

"The last time the budget was reconciled, the process was used as a mechanism to force Obamacare down the throats of the American people. Since that time, the House has tirelessly worked to roll back this abrasive health care law. Today, we have given the Senate the opportunity use a simple majority to send a commonsense repeal of harmful provisions in the Affordable Care Act and of funding for Planned Parenthood to the President's desk while achieving $130 billion in savings and scaling back the government's intrusion into the lives of everyday Americans. I am proud to stand behind the Reconciliation process."
