Political Quotes

“Madam President, a number of my colleagues have come down here, and we have done so on a number of occasions because most of us are getting emails and phone calls and letters in our offices of real- world, real-life experiences that people are having with ObamaCare. It is a reminder that the things we do here have real-world impacts across the country. As someone who represents the State of South Dakota, I came down here and shared a number of stories of constituents of mine who have been adversely impacted in the form of higher premiums, canceled coverages, higher deductibles--all doing great economic harm to the people in our respective States. I will quickly share a note I received from a constituent in Rapid City, SD. As my Congressional representative, you need to know how ObamaCare is harming my life and health care. My insurance company cancelled my policy. I am currently paying over $800 a month for a family of 4. To upgrade my policy I will be over $900 a month. If I sign up for ObamaCare, I would be paying over $2500 a month. I cannot think of any way this is considered affordable health care! This is just another of many examples that I have from my State of South Dakota and that my colleagues have to point out how this is flawed and the economic harm it is doing to the American people and why it is so important that we here in the Senate take steps to change it and do it soon, before it is too late. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Wisconsin.”
