“First of all, I want to address this. The bill we passed today is something that needed to be addressed. It was a problem that has been growing for about 16 years, or so. The cut that was put into law has been changed 17 times in the last 16 or so years. It made cuts to healthcare providers. We have caused some healthcare providers to retire early. It was $716 billion that ObamaCare took from Medicare in order to, supposedly, fund 30 million or so that we were told didn't have insurance. Now we have cost millions their health insurance policy they liked. And I say ``we.'' Not a single Republican voted for that bill. It has cost Americans, millions of Americans, the doctor that they wanted to use. We have seen promise after promise that was made about ObamaCare that was broken. It absolutely wasn't true. Then we find out that there were advisers around the White House who were advising all along: They are not going to be able to keep their insurance policy. They are not going to be able to keep their doctors. Maybe we want to change the way that kind of thing is said. It did major damage--and continues to do major damage--to health care. So, on top of that overlay, we had these ongoing cuts to the healthcare providers.…”
