Premiums are rising to unaffordable levels and workers\u2019 hours are being cut.\u00a0 People are losing the plans they like. After more than $500 million spent, the website doesn\u2019t even work.\u00a0 Americans needed genuine health care reform before President Obama signed his signature law\u2014and we still do.\u00a0 \u00a0That\u2019s why I am proud to co-sponsor the American Health Care Reform Act.\u201d\nH.R. 3121 fully repeals the President\u2019s health care law. It spurs competition to lower health care costs by allowing Americans to purchase health insurance across state lines and allows small businesses to pool together to get the same buying power as large corporations.\nThe American Health Care Reform Act also gives families the ability to deduct health care costs on their taxes and addresses the medical liability crisis which has played a significant role in escalating health care costs.\u00a0\nTo view the bill in its entirety click here\nFor a clip of Congressman Messer\u2019s quote click here", 1, "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z", "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://web.archive.org/web/20140308223022/http://messer.house.gov/media-center/press-releases/house-republicans-deliver-a-better-way-to-health-care-reform-0"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.6930561978369951, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
