Political Quotes

“ObamaCare exemplifies perfectly the problem of bureaucratic hubris. Confident that Americans would come to see their mass-produced health care as ``better,'' the ``suits'' in Washington chose to pass a completely partisan law and, regardless of promises, forced unwanted insurance changes on millions of Americans. Many of my constituents object to the characterization of ``better.'' Coverage isn't better if it is not what a family wants or needs. It is not better if its shiny new mandates make health care unaffordable. Holli from St. Clemmons knows this too well. She wrote to say: I am a geriatric care manager. I pay $171 per month. My deductible is $2,500. I went on www.healthcare.gov and was informed I now will get no financial assistance to pay for my plan. If I choose the lowest cost plan, I will be paying $330 per month. My doctor is not listed as a provider, and my drug deductible will be $2,500. I feel I am caught between a rock and a hard place. ``Better,'' for Holli, would be a health care law that doesn't make her insurance preferences illegal. ____________________”
