Political Quotes

On the recordSeptember 30, 2013
Every day, I appreciate concerned constituents reaching out to me and expressing their very real experiences with the health care takeover. Jennifer from Chapin says: ObamaCare will put us out of business and make health insurance unaffordable for our family. Charlotte from Batesburg writes: I do not feel our economy can afford ObamaCare. I am retired, with a history of lung cancer, and my followup care would be denied under this plan. Terry from Aiken pleads: Do whatever you can to stop this. It will be an oppression of the people of this country both in terms of health care and jobs. Sarah from North Augusta has valid concerns for the Nation's future: Our company has already spent time and money to be compliant with the plan, but there are many ``what ifs.'' This cannot be a funded plan. Melissa of nearby Greenwood is correct: Free ticket, no show, putting people in need at risk. I am grateful the House is making every effort to protect the American people from the unsustainable, unaffordable health care takeover law, which destroys jobs. In conclusion, God bless our troops, and we will never forget September the 11th in the global war on terrorism. ____________________
