Hours after the collapse of the American Health Care Act in the Senate Monday night , the White House signaled on Tuesday that it was open to working with lawmakers in both the House and Senate for direct repeal of the Affordable Care Act (the official name of Obamacare.)

During the regular briefing for White House reporters Tuesday, Newsmax noted that there was strong sentiment among House Republicans for a simple repeal even before the AHCA collapsed Monday night and that Rep. Andy Biggs (R-Ariz.) had introduced a bill for direct repeal of Obamacare.

PHOENIX — The Affordable Care Act, commonly referred to as Obamacare, would be no more if an act introduced by an Arizona congressman passes.

U.S. Rep. Andy Biggs introduced the Responsible Path to Full Obamacare Repeal Act on Tuesday, just one day after the Senate's latest plan to repeal and replace the bill failed.

Biggs said he wanted to introduce the bill to ward off concern from voters who may see the Republican Party's inability to remove the health care law as reneging on campaign promises.

In his classic work, 1984, George Orwell coined the term "newspeak" – when the powerful use language to control the people. This is exactly what is taking place in today's political arena.

Newspeak is clearly heard between the political class (elected officials, bureaucrats, media) and the American people in the fight to repeal the Affordable Care Act (ACA), or ObamaCare – the disastrous foray into authoritarian control over healthcare. Will the newspeak being used today ultimately fool the American people into keeping ObamaCare in place?

WASHINGTON — Eighteen Republican members of Congress, led by Utah Sen. Mike Lee and Arizona Rep. Paul Gosar, sent a letter last Friday to Housing and Urban Development Secretary Ben Carson asking him to rescind the Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing (AFFH) rule.

A House Republican is slamming the media's coverage of President Trump and Russia, saying news outlets have a "fixation" on the issue.

Rep. Andy Biggs (R-Ariz.) said the coverage is intended to "delegitimize the president."

Arizona Republican Rep. Andy Biggs never expected to be hitting home runs in his first year, but he also didn't expect to the GOP agenda to be benched by acrimony and the media's focus on Russia's election involvement.

"It's a mixed bag," said Biggs, the former president of Arizona's state senate and a rising GOP star. "It's a bit frustrating."

Biggs said President Trump and Republican Congressmen are moving on immigration, cutting regulation, and boosting the Pentagon, but that story isn't getting out. "We have to do a better job messaging," he said.
