That is something that has been debated and I have discussed with so many of my constituents. There are many people in the country that are so angry about ObamaCare being passed. It is just hard to call it ``affordable care'' because I have heard from so many that it has just devastated, so many who have told me that it is anything but affordable. It is devastating them. Some have said if we just let ObamaCare go through, it is going to hurt so many people. It has already hurt so many people. If we just let it go through--stand by, just get out of the way, let it hit, let it get the full hurt and damage that will continue--that will just get worse as it hurts the economy as it continues to make most people's health care and health insurance both go up.
