Fwd: Responding to your message

October 22, 2013

Dear Mr. Hames,

Thank you for contacting me to express support for defunding the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ObamaCare). I appreciate you sharing your views, which help inform and guide me in Congress.

I share your support for getting rid of this deeply flawed law. I voted in favor of H.J.Res. 59, the Continuing Appropriations Resolution, when it passed the House on September 20, 2013, by a vote of 230 to 189. This legislation would fund the government through December 15, 2013, while fully defunding ObamaCare. The Senate, unfortunately, stripped out the language defunding ObamaCare before it passed a "clean" continuing resolution on September 27, 2013.

You may also be interested to know I am a cosponsor of H.J. Res. 62, another Continuing Resolution introduced by Rep. Tom Graves (GA) that includes full defunding of ObamaCare. In addition, I signed a letter to House Republican leadership, circulated by Rep. Mark Meadows (NC) in August, asking that ObamaCare be defunded in any relevant appropriations bill that moves through the House in this Congress.

Ultimately, I believe ObamaCare needs to be fully repealed which is why I was proud to cosponsor and vote for H.R. 45—a full repeal of Obamacare—which passed the House on May 16, 2013 by a vote of 229 to 195. As Obamacare causes more damage to our health care system and our economy, I am hopeful that the Senate will take this new opportunity to repeal this law and replace it with patient-centered reforms.

As a physician with more than 30 years of experience, taking care of patients has been my life's work. Please rest assured that reforming our health care system will be my top priority as long as I have the privilege to serve you in Congress.

If there is anything I can do to be of assistance, or if you would like to receive my e-newsletter, please visit www.roe.house.gov. Again, I thank you for your opinions and look forward to serving you. Please do not hesitate to contact my office in the future.

Sincerely,

David P. Roe
Member of Congress

Follow us on Twitter View this as website BY JAMIE MCINTYRE ADVERTISEMENT FROM 'CATCH AND RELEASE' TO 'DETAIN AND DEPORT': After months of hard-nosed negotiation behind closed doors in the Senate, the text of a compromise $118 billion national security supplemental budget bill, which includes major concessions from the Democrats on border security and desperately needed aid for Ukraine, was released last night. Senators now have two days to read and digest it before a Wednesday vote. Sen. James Lankford (R-OK), the lead GOP negotiator, said the bill contains all the most vital reforms Republicans have demanded and called it a "once-in-a-generation opportunity to close our open border." "The bill provides funding to build the wall, increase technology at the border, and add more detention beds, more agents, and more deportation flights. The border security bil
