OBAMACARE
(Mr. PITTENGER asked and was given permission to address the House
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
Mr. PITTENGER. Mr. Speaker, the false promises of ObamaCare are now
coming to light. The President promised a $2,500 reduction in premiums.
Well, the average now is $3,000.
I get countless calls every day and emails from my constituents about
the increase in their premiums. One emailed me today that his increase
was 200 percent. An $11,000 deductible cost him $1,100 a month. That is
intolerable. Mr. Speaker, we have to address this today.
Another one called and said: Robert, it's gone up 250 percent on my
premiums. This is wrong. We were promised jobs. Speaker Pelosi said:
Well, we are going to have 4 million new jobs, 400,000 almost
immediately.
Well, what's happened?
Seventy-one percent of all the new businesses, they're not hiring
today. They're certainly not hiring full-time people. We lost 250,000
full-time jobs just in the month of June. It's killing jobs in this
country.
It's a false promise on keeping your own health care plan. Seven
million new people now cannot keep the health care plan that they were
promised.
Mr. Speaker, it's time we address this today and relieve the American
people from ObamaCare.
