Political Quotes

The essential problem with Obamacare for people who buy individual insurance, it seems to me, I say to Senator Isakson, is that Washington tells you what insurance to buy. I think of a woman named Emilie in Middle Tennessee who has lupus and who had a policy she could afford. It had modest benefits and it didn't cost very much, but it fit her needs, but Obamacare canceled that policy. When she went online to find another policy under Obamacare, her costs went up from $100 to $400 a month. I guess the Senator has heard stories like that as well in Georgia.
