On the recordOctober 30, 2013
Today, the Secretary of Health and Human Services said to Americans that we deserve better than what we have gotten with ObamaCare. America sure does deserve better. This is the first time in the history of our country that American citizens have been forced to purchase a product that they do not want and which they cannot afford on a Web site that does not work. But let me say, it is not just the ObamaCare Web site that is broken. President Obama has repeatedly told American families: If you like your current health insurance, you can keep your coverage. Just this week, it was revealed that President Obama and his staff have known for over 3 years that millions of Americans will lose their current health insurance because of ObamaCare. Furthermore, families in my district and across the country are feeling the sticker shock from soaring premiums. They are seeing reduced benefits, and they are being forced to make difficult financial decisions. Mr. Speaker, my constituents and families across America do indeed deserve better. ____________________
