The Mershon family of Gassville, Arkansas, is yet another tragic example of the terrible toll the ObamaCare law is taking on the American people. Small business owners and young parents, this couple has never asked their government for anything more than just to let them make a good life for their kids. Here are their words: We regret to inform you that we have lost our health care coverage. It was not ObamaCare compliant. Granted, it wasn't Cadillac-style insurance, but it was all we needed. So we go to the Web site. ``Sticker shock'' does not begin to cover how we felt. This is an absolute outrage. We counted on what was assured to us, promised to us--that our insurance would stay intact, period. Our shoestring budget has now turned to floss. Seriously, it is beans and cornbread time. Mr. Speaker, a politically motivated administrative fix does nothing to solve the underlying issues with this disastrous law. Sadly, it looks like it may be beans and cornbread time for millions of families across our country. Is this really the affordable care we were promised? ____________________
