Rep. Michael Cloud: "The 'Affordable' Care Act was never about providing healthcare to more people, it was about providing more customers to Insurance Companies."

Rep. Pat Fallon: "Democrats alone are standing in the way of reopening the government. Instead, they care more about making sure we are spending taxpayer dollars on healthcare for illegal immigrants. Misplaced priorities like these should explain why their approval rating is at an all-time low."
