Rep. Mo Brooks files bill to repeal Obamacare

In a simple two-page document, an Alabama congressman has filed a bill in the U.S. House of Representatives to repeal Obamacare.

Or, as it is stated in the bill, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act.

U.S. Rep. Mo Brooks, R-Huntsville, introduced the bill Friday.

"This Act may be cited as the 'Obamacare Repeal Act,'" the bill states.

And the bill uses just one sentence to do it.

"Effective as of Dec. 31, 2017, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act is repealed, and the provisions of law amended or repealed by such Act are restored or revived as if such Act had not been enacted," the bill states.

And that's it - one sentence.

Brooks has long been critical of the bill and last-ditch negotiations between House leaders, Trump and the conservative House Freedom Caucus – of which Brooks is a member – failed to sway his position.

Another bill signed into law by former President Barack Obama - the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010 - would also be repealed under Brooks' bill. The health care aspect of the law is also considered a part of Obamacare.

In a statement Friday announcing he would opposing the Republican health care plan that eventually was pulled from a vote because of a lack of support, Brooks said he would be introducing the bill to repeal Obamacare.

Present Trump asked House Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wis., to halt debate without a vote.

Brooks challenged his fellow lawmakers in Washington to sign the discharge petition that would bring the bill out of committee, where it could be left to die. Brooks' bill has no co-sponsors at this point.

"If the American people want to repeal Obamacare, this is their last, best chance during the 115th Congress," Brooks said. Those Congressmen who are sincere about repealing Obamacare may prove it by signing the discharge petition.

"At a minimum, the discharge petition will, like the sun burning away the fog, show American voters who really wants to repeal Obamacare and who merely acts that way during election time."

This. Obamacare is such a disaster, that repealing it would be a disaster.

The search for a person actually benefitting from Obamacare still goes on as of this moment. If you have any information about such a person please call your House Rep. immediately.

I have some friends who work in the pharmaceutical industry. They have nothing but great things to say about the bill

Great move, reminding the people that #FullRepeal has not been tried by this administration is a must.

This did not happen. The MSM has assured us for weeks that there are no other options, and that the Freedom Caucus are nothing but obstructionists who never offer any solutions.

This isnt a solution. This is just political posturing. He only put out a full repeal bill because he knew it wouldnt pass.

"Effective as of Dec. 31, 2017, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act is repealed, . . ."
​laws are "restored or revived as if such Act had not been enacted,"

That sounds like a reconciliation - back to former laws before the Ocare changed them.

It's small enough to tweet. Well our "tweet President" tweet or re-tweet it?
