In this issue of the Rokita Report, I will share a Rokita Reading, discuss the Iran Deal and Planned Parenthood Videos.
ROKITA STATEMENT ON 21ST CENTURY CURES ACT
Prioritizing our goals is the only way we are going to reduce our $18 trillion in debt. The test is simple: If a program is a new, high priority, then what should become less of a priority?
ROKITA STATEMENT TO KING V. BURWELL RULING
This decision does not change the fact that Americans need real health care reform that lowers costs, empowers patients, improves access, and increases competition.
ROKITA FIGHTS TO REPEAL MEDICAL DEVICE TAX
Repealing the medical device tax is a win not only for Hoosier businesses in the life sciences industry, but also for patients who rely on medical devices for a better quality of life. I am a firm believer that if government wants less of something, all we need to do is tax it. When it comes to life-saving medical technology, I want more of it. I want to maintain U.S. leadership and innovation, and that is why it is so important to repeal this tax.
Hoosiers in Congress blast medical device tax
Rep. Todd Rokita, R-4th, said, “If you want America to be less of a leader in the world when it comes to this industry, tax it.”
Release - OBAMACARE REPEAL AND REPLACE: ROKITA URGES REAL HEALTH CARE REFORM
To contrast the President’s failed law, the bill I voted on today cast a vision for real, consumer-driven health care. It directs the House to craft legislation that preserves access to health plans, provides coverage to those with pre-existing conditions, increases the number of uninsured, expands state flexibility, and protects the doctor-patient relationship. By empowering the consumer, instead of the government, we can truly reform health care in America.”

Indiana has long been a leader in consumer-driven health care with the original Healthy Indiana Plan. Maintaining the principles of this highly successful program and expanding health care access to low-income Hoosiers, all without increasing costs to taxpayers, is a true victory.
ROKITA VOTES TO SUPPORT AMERICAN WORKERS
I will continue to repeal and defund, in whatever part, at every opportunity, the insidious ObamaCare law that robs people of good healthcare choices and drives up the debt owed by future generations.
Job ‘Casualties’ Mount Due to Device Tax
In our most recent Indiana Chamber Policy Call with Congressman Todd Rokita, the subject of the medical device tax came up. No surprise. It’s been a topic in countless conversations ever since the terrible idea was first broached in 2010.
