On the recordNovember 15, 2013
I sat on the floor and heard my colleague from Oregon (Mr. Walden) talk about a very attractive family from southern Oregon that is somehow going to now face a $12,000 deductible. I want to take a deep dive with Greg and find out what is going on with that family because we have found people have been using ObamaCare for an excuse for some things that are going to happen anyway, or that people misunderstand. Let's do this together. Let's explore these areas. Let's give people information going forward, and let's make the system work better, not create a parallel system that will make it work worse.
