Political Quotes

“Mr. Speaker, the Hill newspaper recently reported that there's another prominent glitch in last year's health care law. Millions of families could struggle to purchase insurance because of the sloppy manner in which the bill was written. The law mandates that every individual pay insurance. If the insurance offered by an employer is deemed affordable by the government, then an employee must purchase it. However, the Federal Government will only look at the individual plans offered by companies--not the family plans. While the plan for an individual may be affordable, the family plan could be significantly more expensive. Correcting this mistake in the law would mean at least $50 billion more per year in government subsidies. The President told the American people that the new health care law would not increase the deficit. Now we find yet another example of how this bill will cost both American families and the Federal Government far more than what was claimed. Clearly, we need full repeal before this law full of glitches and mandates is fully implemented, bankrupting families and the government. ____________________”
