                 OBAMACARE IS HURTING SOUTH CAROLINIANS

  (Mr. WILSON of South Carolina asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. WILSON of South Carolina. Mr. Speaker, besides sticker shock, 
American families are beginning to realize that they were misled and 
that ObamaCare is not as great as advertised. Sheryl from Columbia 
says:

       I realize the ACA is controversial, but it was billed as 
     something better than what the insurance companies were 
     offering to private parties. What we actually purchased is 
     very inferior to the high deductible policy I currently have 
     when out of network.

  Edward from Chapin has made several attempts to enroll his family in 
the government health care insurance program since the beginning of 
October. Unfortunately, due to the faulty government-run Web site and 
the complicated nature of the law, he tried for 2 months to 
successfully enroll his 17-year-old daughter in a government health 
plan.
  The government's role is to protect our fellow citizens, not make 
tasks such as enrolling in health care more expensive or difficult. 
ObamaCare must be repealed and replaced to create jobs and put health 
care decisions back in the hands of the American people.
  In conclusion, God bless our troops, and we will never forget 
September the 11th in the global war on terrorism.
