                 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.
