“I stand in strong support of the American Health Care Act and urge my colleagues to vote in favor of the bill. ObamaCare was built on broken promises. President Obama said you could keep your policy, keep your doctor, and it would bring down the cost of the insurance for a family of four by $2,500 per year. It is time for the lies to stop. Let me share with Members the shameful reality of ObamaCare in South Carolina. It turns out you couldn't keep your doctor. In fact, the Medical University of South Carolina is not an accepted provider under ObamaCare in South Carolina. That is right. South Carolinians cannot go to the Medical University of South Carolina if they are covered by ObamaCare exchange policies. It turns out you couldn't keep your policy. It is hard to believe, but more South Carolinians had their plans canceled by ObamaCare than have enrolled in the exchanges. 237,000 South Carolinians' policies were canceled in ObamaCare. It turns out South Carolinians did not see a $2,500 reduction in their healthcare premiums. In fact, premiums have increased by double digits every year since the exchange opened; and this year, premiums increased 28 percent and deductibles 26 percent. I submit to you that if you have a health insurance policy with $6,000 in deductibles and copays so high you can't afford to use your policy, regardless of the fact that statistics say you are covered, you are not covered.…”
