“I rise today to speak on behalf of nearly 3,000 Nebraskans who have contacted my office with their concerns about ObamaCare. Their stories are, unfortunately, not unique: skyrocketing premiums and cancellation of plans they were promised they could keep. Curt from Lincoln, NE, wrote to tell me he has seen his Blue Cross Blue Shield premiums rise a shocking 300 percent. David, a father living in Omaha, is facing a potential total increase of $16,000 a year for his family's coverage--$16,000. Another constituent from Bertrand, NE, will see his family's deductible more than double next year. He asked: ``How is this the Affordable Care Act?'' An apology now will not help the hard-working Nebraskans who have lost or who will soon lose their current coverage. One constituent wrote, ``Folks shouldn't need a second mortgage to pay for ObamaCare.'' I agree. I yield the floor. The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. The Senator from Wyoming.”
