Mr. President, for the last 3 years we have heard President Obama and our friends on the left promise--no, guarantee-- that ObamaCare will help make health insurance more affordable. But day after day we see costs going up for hard-working families all across our country--not merely the rich families, not only the 1 percent, but middle-class Americans. Last week I heard from Natalie Geiger, a wife and a mother of three in Charleston, SC, whose health insurance costs are seeing double-digit increases. These are the faces of real people impacted by ObamaCare. They are not stats; they are not numbers; they don't get waivers. They are taxpayers, middle-income taxpayers, and ObamaCare is forcing many to choose between saving for college for these three little kids and paying for health care. They shouldn't have to choose. ``ObamaCare'' and ``healthcare.gov'' are words that we now know are synonymous with ``failure.'' I yield the floor. The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. The Senator from Arkansas.
