Political Quotes

“Mr. Speaker, we all remember hearing the promise ``if you like your health care, you can keep it.'' We also remember hearing that ObamaCare would reduce insurance costs for families by about $2,500 a year. That is not what we are hearing now. Ronald, one of my constituents from Advance, North Carolina, just received a letter from Blue Cross Blue Shield informing him because of ObamaCare his month monthly premiums are tripling from $400 per month to $1,200 per month. His deductible also skyrocketed to $11,000. William in Rural Hall, North Carolina, tells me the same story. His premiums are also tripling from $400 to more than $1,200. Dianne, one of my constituents from Clemmons, tells me that her health care premiums are slated to rise from $193 per month to $553 per month beginning on January 1, 2014, again due to ObamaCare. William from Winston-Salem recently informed me that his son's 2014 renewal rate came in. His premiums are rising from $314 to $821.96. Mr. Speaker, until now we have been forced to debate ObamaCare in the abstract, using economic predictions and common sense to explain why this ill-conceived law is going to be, as one of its key proponents in the Senate predicted, a train wreck. But now the verdict is in. Families from across my district are receiving letters from insurers explaining that the so-called Affordable Care Act is driving their premiums sky high.…”
