don't up
0:20
you okay good morning
0:24
a long before I served on the budget committee I got a crash
course
0:28
in budgeting 101 as a single working
0:31
mom in those years raising three children on a nurse a
summary
0:35
taught me to live within my means and stretch my dollars
0:39
and frankly I didn't have much of a choice unfortunately that
concept is
0:45
lost for many here in washington
0:47
for example the president's latest budget
0:50
would never balance despite the fact that is calling for two
trillion dollars
0:55
in new taxes
0:56
house republicans believe that we can do better
1:00
and that's why this week the house will vote
1:03
on a balanced budget for a stronger america
1:06
our plan brings our books to balance in less than 10 years
1:10
with out raising taxes importantly for me as a nurse
1:15
this budget would also fully repeal Obamacare
1:18
and giving us an opportunity to start over on health care reforms
that put
1:22
patients and their doctors
1:24
in charge not washington bureaucrats families and businesses
1:28
know what it's like to live within the real world a budgeting
1:32
and we believe it's time that Washington learn to do the same
1:42
the president's health care law is five years old
1:45
and while it isn't cute biker real five-year-old
1:49
it is clumsy way more expensive than we'd hoped
1:52
and we need to keep it under close supervision or is likely to
cause
1:56
a lot and destruction Americans need a health care labelle on their
priorities
2:02
not those dictated from washington
2:05
and on the whims have an executive who is inclined to
overreach
2:10
five years a increased cost and wasteful bureaucratic problems is
simply
2:16
far too long that is why the house has put forward a responsible
budget that
2:21
completely repeals the president's disastrous health care law
2:24
in fall including all its tax-increases
2:27
all the regulations and all the mandates our budget paves the way
for a better
2:32
off
2:33
empowers Americans by letting you choose the health care plan that
fits your
2:38
needs and by reducing costs
2:40
and improving accessed through choice and competition
2:48
as
2:49
lenses noted this week marks the five year anniversary of the
president's
2:53
health care law
2:54
and despite the promises five years later
2:57
this legislation has not delivered what was promised
3:00
I wanted just to read some words from
3:03
different corners of the country voices that I believe deserve to
be heard
3:07
a woman from Georgia rights I'm a sixty two-year-old widow and only
make
3:12
879 an hour I lost my insurance in cannot afford to pay for
it
3:17
a man for from pennsylvania says my family's health coverage was
cancelled
3:22
and my new health care premiums increased eighty-five percent
3:26
thanks to Obamacare a husband from california writes
3:30
our health care costs were affordable until this law became
3:34
until and this law came along now the increasing cost but the
series hurt on
3:38
our budget
3:39
and a young man family from my home state and Washington
3:43
was over bill by the state exchange in for three days didn't
have
3:47
the money they needed for food gas or medicine
3:50
you know the people are different but the stories are
repeated
3:53
all across the country Obamacare's made lives worse
3:57
and that's why are balanced budget for a stronger america is so
important we're
4:02
bringing it to the floor this week
4:04
it repeals Obama Care and it makes government accountable to
you
4:09
american families all across this country balance their money
4:12
to pay the bills bound they afford
4:15
you know so that they can afford the copays at the doctor's office
and send
4:18
their kids to school
4:19
families have to prioritize they have to save
4:22
they have to live within their means the federal government needs
to do likewise
4:26
thus an important week in the house as we get ready to pass a
budget
4:32
tomorrow and then also move forward and completely repeal the
SGR
4:37
on Thursday while also putting in place mandatory spending reforms
that we
4:41
haven't seen in decades
4:43
reforms that will actually strengthen Medicare for seniors
4:46
and if you look at our budget it's not only important vision
document that lays
4:50
out
4:51
our priorities in our plans to get our country back on a path to a
balanced
4:54
budget
4:55
as well as the kind of economic reforms that are needed to get hard
working
4:59
taxpayers
5:00
the relief they need from heavyhanded federal government and also
to get our
5:04
economy back on track
5:05
whether something else that is in our budget that's very important
to how
5:09
things work today in Washington
5:10
and that is the reconciliation process that allows us to send a
repeal of
5:15
Obamacare
5:16
to President Obama's desk with 51 votes
5:19
in the senate and as we look at the five year anniversary yesterday
Obamacare and
5:24
how it's devastated
5:26
families how it's caused millions of people across this country to
lose the
5:30
good health care
5:30
that they have while facing higher costs in fewer doctors to choose
from
5:35
American people know how devastating that lawyers and so the
strength
5:38
up having a budget that lays out those priorities to tackle real
problems that
5:43
our country is facing
5:44
get our Bob a budget balanced again get our economy moving
again
5:48
and also set the stage for repeal Obamacare
5:51
and the ability to actually replaceable patient-centered reforms is
like that
5:57
happens in this house the show's contrast but there's no greater
contrast
6:00
in this week
6:01
a budget is your vision edges ire for the future
6:05
but shows the contrast between Republicans and Democrats
6:10
no be a lotta budgets on the floor from progressive CBC
6:14
RSC in others but all in one final budget will pass
6:18
you that budget balances that budget doesn't have tax
increases
6:23
to that's the difference between republican budget the president's
budget
6:28
and the democrats there's as tax increases and there's never
balances
6:32
we believe in a future for this country do
6:35
and we believe it could even be better than today
6:41
well disobeying we care for the house was focus on the people's
priorities
6:45
were be considering a balanced budget that helped create more
jobs
6:49

6:52
a stark contrast to other presidents budget I was never

6:57
for tax increases and a lot lot more spending
7:00
we're also gonna actors week to strengthen medicare make your
7:04
the first real structural entitlement reforms in nearly
7:07

reached last week
8:27
between chairman price and chairman thornberry to represent
8:31
the the bond between our fiscal on defense hawks
8:35
a so that we could bring a budget four to the floor that actually
satisfied
8:39
the requests are both sides our conference to bring them together

8:43

8:44
moment for our conference that again budgets

8:52
House Republican Conference on the floor Wednesday when we passed
