Roskam on the repeal ObamaCare vote

As I wrote earlier this evening, the House of Reprsentatives voted to repeal ObamaCare. Watch as Chief Deputy Majority Whip Peter Roskam (R-IL) discusses the historic vote prior to his speech on the House floor.



I like this bit:

Employers in my home state, Madam Speaker, just got hit hard with the new tax increase that got jammed through by the Illinois General Assembly. 74 percent of employers in the Midwest have recently in surveys said that this bill that we are talking about repealing would have an adverse impact on their hiring decisions.

Now it's with no sense of irony that now-Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, when she was speaker, said that "we have to pass the bill so that you can see what's in it." Well she did - and we do - and the American public does. And the American public said 'enough!'
