Political Quotes

“Mr. President, we all know that over 5 million Americans have lost their health care and can't keep the health care they wanted. The untold tragedy is the millions and millions more who are being priced out of the market because of the increases in costs caused by ObamaCare. I will read an email from Rob and Jessica in Georgia that I think depicts exactly what that tragedy is. My husband lost a job in the recession. He could not find work, so we started our own business and have grown it over the last 3 years so that we are supporting ourselves with a modest income. We lost all of our savings, in the process of the recession, but we are proud from where we've come. We are in our 40's, healthy and self-insured. We just received a letter from our insurance company that our insurance will be going up 244 percent, from $203 a month to $495 a month. We can't believe that our government has made a decision that is costing us, and everyone we talk to, thousands of dollars. It is truly unbelievable. We have worked so hard to get where we are. We cannot afford this increase. ObamaCare is pricing the average American out of health care. I yield the floor. The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. The Senator from Georgia.”
