The people of Virginia's Sixth District are hardworking, busy running small businesses, teaching, raising families, earning a living, and trying to make ends meet. It is Congress' duty to make their lives as uncomplicated by government as possible. Time and time again, however, we have seen ObamaCare doing the very opposite. Across my district, hourly employees are seeing cutbacks in their workweeks. Multiple employers are weighing the costs of offering health coverage to their employees. I have received countless complaints from folks whose insurance was canceled or whose premiums increased. It is offensive that the White House dismisses these experiences as ``anecdotal.'' The people in my district do not consider their lives, their businesses, and their health care to be anecdotal. Delays and exemptions have proven that this law is flawed and unworkable. ObamaCare has got to go and be replaced by patient-centered health care reform. ____________________
