Seven years after Obamacare was imposed on our country, we will vote on the critical first step to finally move beyond its failures. Many of us have made commitments to our constituents to provide relief from this failed left-wing experiment. And now, we have a real opportunity to keep those commitments by voting to begin debate and, ultimately, to send smarter health care solutions to the president’s desk for his signature.

The American people elected a House with a vision of a better way on health care, then a Senate, then a president. Now, we have a duty to act. The president is ready with his pen. The House has passed legislation already. Today, it’s the Senate’s turn. That starts with the vote we’ll take momentarily, the critical first step in that process, the Motion to Proceed. It’s the vote that determines whether this debate can proceed at all.

Through the years, Mark and the Kentucky Farm Bureau have provided valuable insight to me as a member of this Committee, and I’m very grateful for that support. This morning, he will continue to aid our work, highlighting the priorities for farmers in my state and from across the nation. His testimony will provide useful insights into the challenges facing American farm families and how Congress can help.
