Congressional Votes

Defunds the Occupational Safety and Health Administration.

The federal government has no authority under the Constitution to impose mask mandates.

It is unconstitutional to force vaccinations on people.

It is unconstitutional to suspend the Constitution by declaring national public-health emergencies.

In recent decades both the Executive Branch and Congress have regularly skirted the constitutional requirement in Article II, Section 2 of the U.S. Constitution that treaties have to be made with the "Advice and Consent of the Senate … provided two thirds of the Senators present concur." Instead of recognizing agreements as treaties, they unconstitutionally designate them as "executive agreements," thereby enabling the president and Congress to avoid seeking the advice and consent of the Senate and pass them by a simple majority of the House and Senate, rather than the more rigorous threshold of two-thirds of the senators present.

It is unconstitutional to suspend the Constitution by declaring national public-health emergencies.

Eliminates the Health and Human Services (HHS) Covid-19 vaccine mandate on healthcare providers furnishing items and services in Medicare- and Medicaid-certified facilities.

Would nullify the rule from the Departments of Treasury, Labor, and HHS that would expand the duration of short-term health insurance plans.

Expands Medicare and Medicaid to cover medication-assisted treatment for substance abuse.

Medicare and Medicaid are both unconstitutional programs. The U.S. Constitution gives no authority to the federal government to pay people's medical expenses, no matter how poor or disabled they are. Such assistance should be handled by states, charity, or the free market. Any expansion of Medicare or Medicaid, which is what this bill authorizes, should be voted against.

This particular excise tax was put in place to help pay for an unconstitutional program - the Affordable Care Act, aka ObamaCare. Repealing part of the funding for such an unconstitutional federal healthcare program is a good thing and should be supported.

Would cut nearly $15 billion from previously approved, unspent, and wasteful spending.

Would allow patients with life-threatening conditions to seek access to experimental drugs directly from a manufacturer without FDA approval.

Would cut the corporate income tax rate from 35 percent to 21 percent and individual income tax rates through 2025, and effectively eliminate the tax penalty on Americans who do not purchase health insurance.

The tax cuts in this bill will keep more money in the hands of American businesses and consumers, where it can be invested into the economy, thus spurring economic growth. Unfortunately, however, the bill does not address federal spending, which needs to be reined in via other legislation.

The Constitution does not authorize the federal government to interfere in healthcare, let alone ration it by deciding who should and should not receive medical care.

The U.S. Constitution does not authorize the federal government to get involved in healthcare, and all government meddling causes more healthcare problems, such as rising healthcare costs.

Going into homes to check up on the physical, emotional, and economic "wellness" of families not only goes way beyond the few and defined federal powers authorized by the Constitution, but also is part of a dangerous trend of government further interjecting itself into the family.

Would have expired the expansion of Medicaid, prohibited tax credits for healthcare plans that provide abortion coverage, banned federal funds for abortion, and repealed the ObamaCare mandates.

Would retain much of ObamaCare under the guise of "repeal and replace."

Would create a prescription drug benefit for Medicare recipients.

Would create a prescription drug benefit for Medicare recipients.
