Reclaiming my time, real people being hurt in real ways is what ObamaCare is doing. And for those who think it is a good thing, those were people that would have been helped by either side of the aisle. But it should be noted that insurance companies, under ObamaCare, are paying an additional tax to the Federal Government. Everybody is having to pay more for everything, and yet they're getting less health care. I get questions: Why, under ObamaCare, are we now going to see everything--we've already gotten notice, it's so much more expensive, and yet we're getting less coverage, less health care, higher deductibles, those kinds of things. Part of that answer is, well, we've got to pay for the 18,000 or so IRS agents who are going to be hired to help you with your health insurance so they can monitor more closely what you make and what you spend it on and whether you are spending enough on health care and how you are spending it. But we've got to pay for all the IRS agents. Now, that's not going to help anybody's health. But then you also look at all the navigators that are being hired, and that's a problem. I saw over $1 billion was about to be spent on advertising to tell Americans how good they were going to feel under ObamaCare. All of those things end up coming out of the coverage and the health care that people would otherwise get. I see my friend from Pennsylvania has arrived, and I yield to him at this time.
