“I rise today to speak about a massive expansion of government that was fundamentally flawed from the start: the Affordable Care Act, better known as ObamaCare. In the past 100 years, we have had three supermajorities, all Democratic. The first gave us the New Deal; the second, the Great Society; and the third gave us ObamaCare and Dodd-Frank. In many ways, these progressive, sweeping government spending programs have failed the very people they claim to champion: the working men and women of America. Together, they come at a massive expense to taxpayers and still continue to add to the Nation's debt crisis. Right now, this law is saddling Americans with more than $1.2 trillion of new taxes over the next 10 years. In my State alone, ObamaCare is costing taxpayers over $2.7 billion over the next decade. The Senate's actions this week will help reverse the harmful effects of ObamaCare and remove the law's burdensome taxes on American families. When I am back home in Georgia, one of the most frequent and sobering concerns I hear about is the insidious, negative impact of ObamaCare-- whether it is reduced hours, increased premiums, increased deductibles, or just the mere fact that they can't get the doctor they want. I hear this more than any other complaint about what is going on in Washington today.…”
