I would like to associate myself with the remarks of the majority leader and point out in today's New York Times, Wednesday, October 21, the big headline--``Insurance Out of Reach for Many, Despite Law.'' Despite this law, insurance is out of reach for many. I know my colleagues who were back home visiting with people around their home State last week, listening to what was on constituents' minds, heard exactly this--the problems of the health care law. I was at home in Wyoming, and I heard from a lot of people who are very concerned about President Obama's collapsing health care law. That is what this law is doing; it is collapsing. People in Wyoming learned that one insurance company--WINhealth--will no longer be selling insurance through the ObamaCare exchange in our State. The company said it had to stop selling ObamaCare plans because there was no way to make money without big taxpayer subsidies coming from Washington. This company was already planning to raise rates significantly next year, and it turns out that even that wasn't going to be enough money to make it worthwhile. In less than 2 weeks, ObamaCare exchanges across the country will start selling insurance for next year. The total number of companies left selling insurance in the exchange for the State of Wyoming will be exactly one--one. There will be no competition at all in the ObamaCare exchange. If your doctor doesn't take that insurance, you are out of luck.…
