Political Quotes

“Today, the White House's permanent campaign machine released a television ad promoting the Affordable Care Act and, unfortunately, it aims to completely mislead the public. The ad claims that Americans are seeing better coverage and lower costs because of the Affordable Care Act. That is pure fantasy. The fact is that premiums have been ratcheting upward across the country. On average, rates in Ohio will go up to almost $200 a month because of this law. It's the same story state by state. These rising costs clearly have the administration worried that people are going to understand how bad the Affordable Care Act is. Enroll America is set to spend tens of millions of dollars in promoting this law. This is money that they raised by using current and former administration officials to unethically, if not illegally, strong-arm donations from health care companies that are regulated by the Department of Health and Human Services. The administration put together a law that hurts families and now they have to spend tens of millions of dollars telling people that ``hey, it ain't so bad.'' Mr. Speaker, this is a travesty. It should be stopped. ____________________”
