From Congressman Peter Roskam (Ill., 6th District)…
Last night the House of Representatives passed the Repealing the Job-Killing Health Care Law Act, 245 – 189. The “yea” votes included every House Republican and three Democrats. Read more about the vote from the Wall Street Journal by clicking HERE.
This is a victory for all Americans who believe that lowering health care costs and easing taxpayers’ burdens are critical to a sustainable health care system and economic prosperity in our country. However, the work is far from over – we still need to provide real solutions to meet those objectives.
Today, the House passed a resolution instructing the four committees with jurisdiction over health care to create alternative solutions. These alternatives must meet a series of criteria laid out in the resolution, including fostering private sector job creation and eliminating wasteful government spending.

Thank you for doing so much to make your voice heard in November – the repeal passed because Americans recognized the damage Pelosicare would cause and they spoke out. I want you to know, we listened.
Sincerely,
Peter
Peter Roskam
Congressman, Illinois 6th District
Chief Deputy Whip
