THE TRAIN WRECK OF OBAMACARE CONTINUES
(Mr. HARRIS asked and was given permission to address the House for 1
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
Mr. HARRIS. Mr. Speaker, the train wreck of the President's health
care plan continues. Last Friday afternoon, curious timing, the Centers
for Medicare Services released a report.
Mr. Speaker, the CMS is working with the IRS to implement ObamaCare,
and the report said it looked at the effect on small businesses of
ObamaCare and the effect on the premiums that were going to be paid by
men and women who work in those small businesses.
Mr. Speaker, their report, from the President's own administration,
said that 11 million workers will pay a higher health care premium
under the Affordable Care Act. That is more than 5 million women who
are going to pay a higher health care premium, when the promise the
President made was that every family would save $2,500 per year.
Mr. Speaker, they are not only not going to save $2,500, those 11
million Americans are going to pay more for their health care next
year, hardworking middle class Americans who can't afford it.
America deserves better.
