Mr. Speaker, I rise to speak on behalf of North Carolinians who cannot afford to be worse off under ObamaCare. Today, single North Carolinians in their mid-twenties can pay as little as $35 a month for health insurance. Under ObamaCare, they will pay $183 for a bronze plan. In direct contradiction to the President's promise of savings, health care costs for a family of four may even increase $7,000. Where is the affordability in that? Americans aren't interested in the administration's PR. They're concerned with whether they'll have to spend more on January 1 than they are spending today. The answer to that question is, sadly, yes for many in my State under ObamaCare. ObamaCare is going to hit too many North Carolina families right in the wallet. It should be repealed and replaced with our American Health Care Reform Act. ____________________
