Bill > HRes9

This Resolution directs four specific House committees—Education and the Workforce, Energy and Commerce, Judiciary, and Ways and Means—to each propose legislation that would replace the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, often referred to as the "job-killing health care law" by its proponents. The proposed legislation should aim to foster economic growth and job creation by removing burdensome policies, lower health insurance costs by increasing competition and choice, allow individuals to keep their current health plans, and ensure that people with pre-existing conditions can access affordable coverage. Additionally, the legislation should reform medical liability to reduce wasteful spending, increase the number of insured Americans, protect the relationship between doctors and patients, give states more flexibility in administering Medicaid, encourage personal responsibility for healthcare costs, prohibit taxpayer funding for abortions while protecting healthcare providers' conscience rights, eliminate redundant government programs and wasteful spending, and avoid accelerating the insolvency of entitlement programs or increasing taxes on Americans.
