A WEB SITE IS THE LEAST OF OBAMACARE'S PROBLEMS
(Ms. FOXX asked and was given permission to address the House for 1
minute.)
Ms. FOXX. Mr. Speaker, President Obama made some big promises with
regard to ObamaCare: if you like your doctor, you can keep them; same
if you are happy with your insurance. Somehow, even with new taxes and
thousands of pages of regulations, government would be able to mandate
universal coverage and simultaneously save everyone money. That is not
panning out in America.
North Carolinians tell me their policies are being canceled and their
prices are set to double. Experts are even advising some Americans to
find a way to lower their incomes to help pay for ObamaCare. For one
family in California, if they don't find a way to earn $2,000 less,
they will pay $15,000 for health care. If they make less money, they
pay just over $1,000.
It is easy to blame technical glitches for ObamaCare's problems. It
is harder to own up to the costly consequences of forcing a one-size-
fits-all health care prescription onto one-sixth of the American
economy.
As President Obama presses forward with ObamaCare, a broken Web site
is certainly the least of his problems.
