“Mr. Speaker, tragically, I receive correspondence every week like this. I heard from Rita in east Texas, who writes me: Since ObamaCare took effect, my insurance no longer covers my colonoscopies as preventative care. I now pay $1,000 and more out of pocket versus $100 outpatient fee. I heard from Frances in the Dallas area near where I live. A few years ago she was tragically diagnosed with tonsil cancer. The good news is she had a good policy; $600-a-month premium and a maximum out of pocket of $3,500. But thanks to ObamaCare, her insurance company dropped her twice, and she wrote: They dropped me again because they are leaving the Dallas market. Her premiums and deductibles doubled. She lost her oncologist, and she writes that this is all because of ObamaCare, the Affordable Care Act.

Our insurance premiums skyrocketed to $1,500 a month, equivalent to a house payment, with a $15,000 deductible, and we cannot see the doctors that know our medical history. Repeal it. I should not be forced to pay for something I cannot use. This has been a nightmare. Mr. Speaker, ObamaCare has been a nightmare. It is collapsing as we speak. People are losing their coverages. Insurance plans are pulling out of States and counties.…”
