On the recordFebruary 16, 2017
Many of us have come here to the floor to share with the country and our colleagues statistics and data demonstrating how ObamaCare is failing patients. We have shown the numbers related to skyrocketing premiums and deductibles and reduction of patient choice. Today, I want to share what my constituents are saying about their firsthand experiences with ObamaCare. From comments we have received: My deductible went from $250 to $2,500. Our deductible skyrocketed to double the amount we were paying. Plus, it provided fewer options. Our premiums have skyrocketed. We had few options from plans. We had to switch doctors. We own a pharmacy. We see many with high premiums who can't afford the very things they need. Cost of insurance keeps going up. It has never gone down. I don't have insurance. It is too expensive, and I have kids to feed. Mr. Speaker, the status quo under ObamaCare is unacceptable. It would be irresponsible and unethical not to act. Our plan, House Republicans, will bring families relief by repealing and replacing the Affordable Care Act with reforms that lower costs and expand access to quality affordable health care to all of our citizens. ____________________
