We know these costs are going to continue. Let me point out again something very important, Mr. Speaker. I worry about how the American families are going to afford this. Their electricity rates have gone up and will continue to go up. This administration has pushed to have coal-fired power plants to close down, has spent billions of dollars for energy subsidies for companies that have gone belly up. Gasoline prices have gone up thousands of dollars for families, unemployment has been above 7 percent for years, hundreds of thousands have been put out of work because of the aspects of this health care bill. It's tough for families to say, How am I going to pay for this? How are they going to pay, as they say, 96 percent more for those who get a new plan, 73 percent more for those keeping their insurance, and up to 413 percent because of some of the age issues and other things going on with that? These are tough concerns for American families and ones that they're asking us to then say, Please, repeal this bill and let us get to something that really works to take care of those issues, to help the uninsured, to help those who are ill, to help put doctors back in charge of people's health care plans.…”
