OBAMACARE
(Ms. HAHN asked and was given permission to address the House for 1
minute.)
Ms. HAHN. Mr. Speaker, as we see ObamaCare go into effect, we see
that it is making affordable health insurance a reality for hardworking
families. Thanks to ObamaCare, 360,000 small businesses have the right
to receive tax credits to help with the cost of providing coverage to
their employees.
Thanks to ObamaCare, senior citizens have the right to affordable
prescription drugs and free preventative benefits.
Thanks to ObamaCare, millions of young adults have the right to stay
on their parents' health insurance until they're 26.
And thanks to ObamaCare, women have the right to no longer be denied
coverage because they are sick or have preexisting conditions; and
thanks to ObamaCare, women no longer have to pay higher premiums for
health insurance just because we're women.
We are finally making great progress in fixing an outdated health
care system that has been broken for far too long. Let's not vote to
take away the American people's rights.
