On details of the House Republican Tax Reform Blueprint: Were going all in for growth with the lowest tax rates in modern history for every type of business. We redesigned the code so we can compete and win anywhere in the world especially here at home. Second big reform is were proposing for families and individuals a tax code so clear and simple more than 95 percent of Americans will be able to file using a simple postcard-style system. Then finally we bust up the IRS. We redesign it. Because we are proposing a much simpler tax code we proposed to redesign it for a fairer and simpler tax collector ... Were not going to tweak a few things and call it a day. Were going for big bold game-changing leapfrog tax reform. On the House Republican plan to create patient-centered health care: What were proposing in short is to eliminate all those Obamacare mandates and taxes and 159 federal agencies in between you and your doctor and replace them with more freedom than any Americans ever had ...What were proposing is a health care backpack that can go with people from job to job state to state home to start a business or family even in retirement. A backpack and health care tailored to your needs throughout your lifetime ... In the 21st century Americans need to control their health care.
