ObamaCare is unaffordable, unsustainable, and unreliable. An overwhelming majority of the American people agree that this disastrous $1.2 trillion law must be replaced with a system that protects the doctor-patient relationship, as has been repeatedly introduced by Congressman Tom Price of Georgia. The South Carolina Department of Insurance has estimated that health insurance rates in the Federal exchanges will increase up to 70 percent for South Carolinians. A majority of other States will have premium increases that will skyrocket, destroying jobs. House Republicans have the best interests of Americans at heart. We know that hardworking families should not be forced to pay higher health care costs in addition to the financial burdens of everyday life. The Senate should act and adopt bipartisan legislation as the House did last week. We join with the American people to keep the government's doors open, defund ObamaCare, and control government spending. In conclusion, God bless our troops, and we will never forget September the 11th in the global war on terrorism. ____________________
