I just wanted to read a couple of the letters that have come into my office about the new health care law. I'm a senior citizen working part time. I can no longer see my doctor of 14 years. I know of other people getting their hours cut and not being able to find a job, and they don't know what their health care will be. The next one: We have 24 employees and have been in business since 1982. We currently pay 100 percent of the premium health care insurance for our employees. After discussing this with our health care provider, we've determined that when ObamaCare is put in place, we will no longer be able to provide health care insurance. The next one: Higher premiums, higher deductibles, less coverage. Next: I have been paying insurance to Blue Cross/Blue Shield for 25 years now. A month and a half ago, I got a letter in the mailbox, saying, I am losing my coverage due to the Obama health care law. I thought Mr. Obama promised no one had to change insurance companies. Mr. Obama has told a lie, and there's no other way to say it. Next one: My insurance company is dropping my business. So much for being able to keep your insurance if you want to. Not. A small business owner like me is--up a creek. Well, that's not exactly what he said. The SPEAKER pro tempore. Members are reminded to refrain from engaging in personalities toward the President. ____________________
