“Since ObamaCare was forced onto the American people 6 long years ago, Americans have seen their premiums skyrocket and access to providers dwindle. In fact, Chairman Price and I were in my district talking to a number of physicians at the emergency room. They said: Not a thing has changed, but we are still taking care of the people just like we did before this terrible bill. Ever since I came to Congress, I have consistently heard from folks in the 12th District of Georgia about the burdens of ObamaCare and that Planned Parenthood should not receive one dime of their hard-earned tax money. I have heard from a family of five whose previous healthcare policy was terminated and buying a new plan means their premiums will go from $700 to over $1,000. Those seeking treatment could not even pay their deductible. A small-business owner's premiums more than doubled and benefits have been reduced. An individual projects 16 percent of his income will go toward health care this year alone. This law is killing the economy. This law is crushing. Even worse, it is crushing Americans and American families and their ability to earn a good living. Is the sake of a political legacy worth all of this? I think not. After 6 years of failed policy, Americans deserve better. That is why I am proud to cast my vote to override the President's veto of the Restoring Americans' Healthcare Freedom Reconciliation Act.…”
