## Transcript

The ayes are 49, the nays are 51. The motion is not agreed to. The amendment is not agreed to. Mr. President. Majority Leader I ask unanimous consent that HR1628 be returned to the calendar. No. No. [ APPLAUSE ] [ BLANK_AUDIO ] The legislation I just laid down is called the Healthcare Freedom Act and it restores freedom to Americans that ObamaCare took away. Why are we here tonight, voting on a bill that would eliminate healthcare coverage? That could save lives for 16 million people .

>> And hopefully he's going to get the votes tomorrow to start our path toward killing this horrible thing known as Obama care. We're now one step closer deliberating our citizens. From this Obamacare nightmare. [ APPLAUSE ] [ NOISE ] On this vote, the yeas are 45, the nays are 55. The amendment is not agreed to. [ BLANK_AUDIO ]
