"Contrary to the very promises Obamacare was sold on, my constituents have lost their healthcare coverage, have seen their premiums rise and were forced to choose new doctors under the law," said Bilirakis. "Now, they're faced with concerns regarding their personal information and whether it is compromised — all because the President's signature law was never ready for prime time."
"The hypocrisy of the Obama Administration knows no bounds," said Bilirakis. "By delaying the Individual Mandate under Obamacare for some individuals and not others, the President has once again shown favoritism and unfairness under the law.
"The National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and Clean Water Act (CWA) guide the Corps' actions to protect our nation's waterways, but the permitting process has led to unnecessary and costly delays that do not balance public safety needs against appropriate environmental protections," said Bilirakis.

Details for the event include the following:
"During the holidays, there are many families throughout the Tampa Bay area who may need a little extra help getting food on the table," said Bilirakis. "Florida is blessed to have an abundant agricultural industry, and I am honored to be able to work with Farm Share to get this nutritious, healthy food into the hands of families who need it most."
"The tab for Obamacare's risk corridors will ultimately be passed down to U.S. taxpayers," Bilirakis said. "It is unacceptable for the Administration to promulgate a rule without knowing the cost that will result. Furthermore, it's irresponsible to put taxpayers on the hook for insurance company losses in the Exchange."
Bilirakis, who is a member of the International Religious Freedom Caucus, has been a strong advocate of religious freedom for all faiths throughout his tenure in Congress. In recent years, he has led multiple efforts to prevent the Egyptian military from using U.S. taxpayer dollars to persecute and attack thousands of Coptic Christians and other religious minorities.

"Today's vote is a win for all veterans, especially those living in and around the Tampa Bay area," said Bilirakis. "This legislation will not only increase veterans' access to quality care, but also make it more convenient for veterans to receive the care they need.
