The false promises of ObamaCare are now coming to light. The President promised a $2,500 reduction in premiums. Well, the average now is $3,000. I get countless calls every day and emails from my constituents about the increase in their premiums. One emailed me today that his increase was 200 percent. An $11,000 deductible cost him $1,100 a month. That is intolerable. Mr. Speaker, we have to address this today. Another one called and said: Robert, it's gone up 250 percent on my premiums. This is wrong. We were promised jobs. Speaker Pelosi said: Well, we are going to have 4 million new jobs, 400,000 almost immediately. Well, what's happened? Seventy-one percent of all the new businesses, they're not hiring today. They're certainly not hiring full-time people. We lost 250,000 full-time jobs just in the month of June. It's killing jobs in this country. It's a false promise on keeping your own health care plan. Seven million new people now cannot keep the health care plan that they were promised. Mr. Speaker, it's time we address this today and relieve the American people from ObamaCare. ____________________
