OBAMACARE
(Mr. CAMP asked and was given permission to address the House for 1
minute.)
Mr. CAMP. Mr. Speaker, today I rise on behalf of the people I
represent in Michigan's Fourth District who are feeling the real impact
of ObamaCare. They are paying more for health care, losing the coverage
they have and like, and having their work hours cut.
I have been receiving calls, emails, and letters from people worried
about the negative impacts ObamaCare is having on their lives.
Jeff Frazier from Midland, Michigan, wrote:
My wife has been recently informed by her insurance carrier
that her health care policy ``does not comply with the
Affordable Care Act.'' Now we must purchase a new policy to
get the same coverage at an 18 percent increase in our
premium. So, what happened to the ``if you like your
insurance, you can keep it''?
Unfortunately, Jeff's story isn't unique. He and an estimated 225,000
people in the State of Michigan and millions of Americans across the
country are losing the coverage they have and like because of
ObamaCare.
I urge my colleagues to join me in standing up against higher health
care costs, dropped coverage, and reduced work hours that are hurting
the constituents I serve in Michigan and Americans all across the
country.
