“I thank the gentleman from Michigan. Mr. Speaker, before I yield to the gentleman from Florida, I want to read two more comments into the record from my Facebook page. The first one is from Kevin Hussey, H-U-S-S-E-Y. Kevin says: It's doubled my premiums. Simply put, how is that ``affordable?'' And Laren Engel Schmude comments: My mom is facing having her hours cut, or being laid off all together, not to mention that her company is dropping health insurance for part-time employees all together. Again, these are comments from folks on my Facebook page. I would also like to point out that my wife, Terri Barton, is the marketing director for Ennis Regional Medical Center in our hometown of Ennis, Texas, and it is her job to help the hospital get ready to implement ObamaCare. I have texted her this morning and asked her how that is going, and she has replied that the counselors are all trained and they are ready to help if people call in wanting to sign up. Ennis Regional Medical Center is a certified application center, but so far very few people have called and tried to sign up. That is on the front lines. Ennis Regional Medical Center is a hospital approximately, I think, 60 or 70 beds, in a town of approximately 18,000 people, in the suburbs of Dallas and Fort Worth, Texas. It is on the front lines of ObamaCare as we implement it, if we do implement it. With that, I yield such time as he may consume to the gentleman from Florida, Congressman Yoho.”
