“Mr. President, there seems to be some confusion. I will take whatever time you designate is left. I wanted to talk longer. The things the Senator from South Carolina was talking about are pretty amazing. I look at my State of Oklahoma. Did you know our premiums in the State of Oklahoma under ObamaCare have tripled?

I can assure you, though, if you look at the charts the Senator from South Carolina was showing, you would wonder why in the world they would all be gathering around when they would dramatically benefit by taking one of the alternatives to ObamaCare. I didn't come down to talk about that, but I have to say, from a State where our premiums have gone up--tripled--you stop and you ask: What is this going to look like when we get the new bill done?

It is going to have block grants going to the States. Look at my State of Oklahoma. That will increase the amount of money that will be coming in, with less taxes, by 200 percent. I dare say, there are a lot of Democrats who would find that in the same situation.…”
