“I want to thank my friends, Mr. Speaker, who are both from Pennsylvania, for their superb comments. They are so right on everything they have said. In following up on those comments, there was an article today from The Washington Free Beacon: ``Employers Say ObamaCare Will Cost Them $5,000 More Per Employee.'' How much more can businesses absorb? Actually, in the last month, we have been finding out about more groups that are getting money from a health care program informally called ``ObamaCare,'' because it is so hard to call it ``affordable'' when it is not. They are groups that are getting money from the Federal Government that, it sounds like, are using it more as an opportunity to register voters as Democrats when that money could be used to get a pacemaker or to get a mammogram or to replace a knee for some 85-year- old widow who could really use a new knee or a new hip. Yet millions and millions of dollars are being paid to groups to go out and find people and to do all they can to get them signed up so they can say they had 7 million people sign up. They sign them up all over the country, using millions and millions of dollars that should have been for health care, yet they are using it to try to recruit votes for the Democratic Party.…”
