Political Quotes

“this week, we are going to spend a lot of time discussing problems with our healthcare system. To do that, we need to understand just how we got here. Concerns about the rising healthcare costs are not new. In 2009, Democrats highlighted shortcomings in the American healthcare system as proof that the Federal Government had to intervene. President Obama told us how to judge his healthcare plan. He told us that Americans would be able to keep their insurance plans and their doctors, and he also told us that insurance premiums would go down. As everyone knows, these predictions did not come true. But there were signs from the start that ObamaCare would not work, which is why not one single Republican voted for it. That is also why the Democrats created the premium tax credits in the first place. They did not trust the one-size-fits-all nature of ObamaCare to lower costs and expand options. Instead of decreasing, over the last 15 years, ObamaCare premiums have increased over 220 percent. A family of four pays $10,000 more for coverage today than they did before ObamaCare, and their deductibles have doubled. Insurance providers have dried up, and rural hospitals are struggling. ObamaCare has undermined healthcare in America.”
