OBAMACARE TO HIT NORTH CAROLINA HARDEST
(Ms. FOXX asked and was given permission to address the House for 1
minute.)
Ms. FOXX. Mr. Speaker, I rise to speak on behalf of North Carolinians
who cannot afford to be worse off under ObamaCare.
Today, single North Carolinians in their mid-twenties can pay as
little as $35 a month for health insurance. Under ObamaCare, they will
pay $183 for a bronze plan. In direct contradiction to the President's
promise of savings, health care costs for a family of four may even
increase $7,000. Where is the affordability in that?
Americans aren't interested in the administration's PR. They're
concerned with whether they'll have to spend more on January 1 than
they are spending today. The answer to that question is, sadly, yes for
many in my State under ObamaCare.
ObamaCare is going to hit too many North Carolina families right in
the wallet. It should be repealed and replaced with our American Health
Care Reform Act.
