Dear Conservative:

Thank you for your correspondence regarding the need to repeal Obamacare. It is an honor to represent the First District of Louisiana, and your thoughts and concerns are very important to me.

As you may know, President Obama's signature piece of legislation was passed in 2010 and increases government spending by $1.2 trillion, increases taxes by $569 billion, and includes an unconstitutional individual mandate. In addition, this bill included nearly $700 billion in cuts to Medicare and billions in spending on government programs unrelated to real health reform. I strongly opposed this legislation, but believe that simply repealing Obamacare is not enough—it must be replaced.

You may be pleased to know that I have worked hard to help craft H.R. 3121, the "American Health Care Reform Act," which highlights my continued commitment to end the massive government takeover of health care by first fully repealing the President's health care law. While improvements must be made to lower health care costs for families and individuals, we can accomplish this without job-killing tax increases and unconstitutional mandates. H.R. 3121 will spur competition to lower health costs by allowing Americans to purchase insurance across state lines and it also includes important provisions to protect the unborn, ensuring that no federal dollars will be used to provide abortions. Additionally, this plan will safeguard individuals with pre-existing conditions and expand access to health savings accounts. Please know that I will continue to fight for a full repeal of Obamacare and advocate for real reforms that improve our health care system.

Thank you again for contacting me. I invite you to visit my website at http://scalise.house.gov/, Facebook page at www.facebook.com/RepSteveScalise, and to follow me on Twitter @SteveScalise.

Sincerely,

Steve Scalise
