"The Supreme Court's decision today does not change the basic truth: Obamacare is a bad law, sold deceptively, and it is fundamentally broken. Americans deserve healthcare policy that makes it easier for companies to provide insurance and for individuals to buy it themselves, not harder. I hear stories all the time about how Obamacare is hurting people in Ohio.
Heritage Action for America regional coordinator Stephanie Kreuz said of Rep. Jordan:

"Conservatives in Congress support free trade. We have been and still are willing to work with our leadership to make this legislation better.

Today's hearing continues the Committee's important work examining the Export-Import Bank. In just 19 days the Bank's charter is set to expire. When this happens, the sky will not fall. The seas will not rise. In fact, in my view, and in the view of many economists, quite the opposite will happen.

The hearing will be held at 1 p.m. Eastern tomorrow in 2154 Rayburn House Office Building.

President Obama told Americans that if they liked their healthcare plans, they could keep them. He said that if Americans liked their doctors, they could keep them. Americans were told that the Obamacare website would work. Americans were told it was secure. Americans were told that premiums would go down by $2,500 for a family. And Americans were told that the number of emergency room visits would drop.
"The coalition against the Export-Import Bank continues to grow.
