OBAMACARE'S BROKEN PROMISES
(Mr. HOLDING asked and was given permission to address the House for
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
Mr. HOLDING. Mr. Speaker, in just 6 days, ObamaCare's insurance
exchanges are scheduled to open. But what consumers will find in terms
of health plans and cost will be a far cry from what they were promised
by this administration.
The American people are tired of ObamaCare's broken promises.
President Obama said that, ``if you like your plan, you can keep your
plan.'' But that just isn't the case. The authors touted this law as a
``job creator,'' but, instead, it has caused employees to lose hours
and made small businesses drop coverage for employees and question
whether they can continue to hire.
Mr. Speaker, with the mentality of ``we have to pass it to find out
what's in it,'' this administration forced a 2,000-page bill into law.
This doesn't even account for the already tens of thousands of pages of
regulations folks are going to have to navigate through.
It's clear, from reports detailing increased costs and taxes to the
polls showing that the majority of Americans do not want this, that
ObamaCare must be repealed, reformed, or delayed.
