“I thank the Senator from Wyoming for his observations about health care and more particularly about jobs.

The cause is we have too many people in this country who are out of the work, which means we need to create more jobs, and that means making it less expensive and less difficult to hire people, not driving up the cost of hiring. The Senator from Wyoming has just touched on one of the issues that is affecting hiring in this country; that is, ObamaCare.

Then he came to the floor last week in response to more bad news about ObamaCare and said the reason people aren't signing up for it is they just aren't educated enough about the Internet.
