On the recordJune 25, 2013
Just to follow up on some of the remarks that my colleague has made, in getting back to the issue of jobs and job creation, there was a recent Gallup Poll out this week that found that 41 percent of small businesses have stopped hiring because of ObamaCare. That is a staggering number. Then to the point of good patient-centered health care, that is not what ObamaCare will provide. In fact, the CBO has estimated that 31 million in 10 years will still remain uninsured. So what are we doing? Why are we creating this system that will be broken from the start and on which we will only spend hard-earned taxpayer dollars trying to fix and plenty of time? Who will go without the good patient-centered health care that every American deserves?
