Whereas more than 11 million seniors have saved more than 
$23.5 billion on their prescription drugs since 2010 with 
an average savings of $2,127; 
Whereas 6.1 million young adults ages 19 to 25 have gained 
health coverage under their parents’ plan; 
Whereas since the enactment of the Affordable Care Act, for 
most Americans, the growth in premiums has slowed con-
siderably. For the 155 million Americans with employer 
coverage, the average family premium for employer cov-
erage rose only 3.4 percent in 2016—compared to an av-
erage annual rate of 7.9 percent from 2000 to 2010; 
Whereas under the Affordable Care Act, unnecessary hospital 
readmissions in Medicare have fallen for the first time on 
record, dropping 8 percent between 2010 and 2015; and 
Whereas 87,000 lives and nearly $20 billion have been saved, 
due to a 17-percent reduction in hospital-acquired condi-
tions, such as infections, from 2010 to 2014, under the 
ACA: Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved, That it is the sense of the House of Rep-
resentatives that any legislation to repeal the Patient Pro-
tection and Affordable Care Act, or substantial portions 
of such Act, should include provisions for a replacement 
for such Act that— 
(1) provides for health insurance coverage for 
at least the same number of people who would be 
covered pursuant to the Patient Protection and Af-

Expressing support for designation of October 17, 2017,

Whereas vitiligo is a long-term, chronic disorder that results 
in the loss of pigment in patches on the skin, hair, eyes, 
and inside of the mouth; 
Whereas the condition can result in discomfort, itching, and 
pain, but there is still no known cure; 
Whereas the American Academy of Dermatology refers to vit-
iligo as a life-altering disorder that can cause low self-es-
teem, anger, and depression; 
Whereas according to the American Academy of Derma-
tology, about half of the individuals diagnosed with vit-
iligo are diagnosed before the age of 21;

Whereas a study by Pediatric Dermatology found that about 
half of all children and adolescents diagnosed with vitiligo 
experienced a decreased quality of life, and some individ-
uals even experienced problems with schoolwork, in-
creased bullying and teasing, trouble with developing 
friendships, and self-confidence issues; 
Whereas a Yale study found that bullied children are two to 
nine times more likely to consider suicide, and the CDC 
reports suicide is the third leading cause of death among 
young people; and 
Whereas Judith Porter, Ph.D., and Ann Beuf, Ph.D., found 
that social support for children and adolescents with vit-
iligo provided by families, peers, charities, support 
groups, and teachers can greatly improve their quality of 
life and decrease stress related to bullying: Now, there-
fore, be it 
Resolved, That the House of Representatives— 
(1) supports the designation of ‘‘National Vit-
iligo Awareness Day’’; and 
(2) recognizes the importance of providing sup-
port for individuals diagnosed with vitiligo to im-
prove their quality of life.

Whereas, in their response to the ambush, the Marines of 
Fox Company did not engage in the intentional or indis-
criminate killing of any civilians; 
Whereas, as commander of Theater Special Operations 
forces, Lieutenant General Frank Kearney prematurely 
decided to expel the entire Marine Special Operations 
Company from Afghanistan notwithstanding their appro-
priate response to an attack by the enemy; 
Whereas General Kearney skewed public perception regarding 
the incident with his statements, which led to an Inspec-
tor General investigation into his actions; 
Whereas, not only was the response by General Kearney un-
precedented, but none of the investigations that have 
been completed would warrant such action, and General 
Kearney’s decision damaged the development of the Ma-

Whereas the Marines conduct during the complex ambush 
was exemplary and reflected the high standards to which 
they were trained: Now, therefore, be it
