On the recordMarch 13, 2014
When the Federal Government intervenes in the private sector, like ObamaCare, we end up with a celebrity in chief who chooses to spend valuable time marketing his product--ObamaCare--on comedy shows rather than focusing on our wavering economy, jobs, and crises in Ukraine, Syria, Venezuela, Israel, and North Korea. This week, the administration released its number for total enrollment in the President's health care law--4.2 million. This falls miserably short of the President's goal to enroll 7 million people by the end of this month. And what is worse is that health care experts estimate that the majority of the 4.2 who have enrolled already had insurance. The White House won't admit this, even though they know exactly how many previously insured are part of the 4.2 million. Mr. Speaker, this law was designed to insure the uninsured, but it is failing in every single way. It is not helping those it was supposed to help, and it is hurting those with coverage they wanted to keep in the first place. The President needs to put the will of Americans ahead of his own agenda and fix this mess he has created. ObamaCare has turned into ObamaScare. May God bless America, and in God we trust. ____________________
