Mr. Speaker, I rise today to talk about the families that are feeling the burden of ObamaCare. Premiums have skyrocketed an average of 19 percent in our State, and insurers are fleeing the market left and right. In fact, 73 percent of counties in Florida only have one insurance provider, leaving people with higher costs and less choice when it comes to their health care. That is why the President's healthcare law has failed the people of Florida. Now, Republicans are offering up solid solutions to make our Nation's healthcare system work for everyone, without pulling the rug from anybody's feet. We are focused on a more affordable, more personalized healthcare plan that empowers patients, not Washington. I am proud to serve on the Energy and Commerce Health Subcommittee as we begin our first steps this week to bring relief to the people of Florida and our Nation. ____________________
