OBAMACARE IMPLEMENTATION FAILS MOTHERS
(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, recently, I received a
heartbreaking email from Connie in Irmo, South Carolina. Because of
ObamaCare, Connie's health care policy premiums have increased $100 a
month, and her deductible has grown to over $2,500 a year. She explains
the truth, despite Senate smears. These unexpected costs have created
significant financial burdens for her family. Connie is the mother of a
child who suffers with mental health issues. It is shameful that
government regulations are making her choose between seeking medical
assistance and feeding her family.
Connie writes:
It is heart wrenching that as a mother I now have to
second-guess myself any time I think about taking my children
to the doctors. I may have coverage, but after I pay my
premiums, I don't have enough left to pay for the doctor
visit itself.
ObamaCare is threatening the middle class and destroying American
families and jobs. On behalf of mothers and fathers across this Nation
who are suffering at ObamaCare's expense, it is time for the President
to work with Congress to repeal this unworkable law and replace it with
commonsense solutions.
In conclusion, God bless our troops, and we will never forget
September the 11th in the global war on terrorism.
