OBAMACARE ENROLLMENT
(Mr. WILLIAMS asked and was given permission to address the House for
1 minute.)
Mr. WILLIAMS. When the Federal Government intervenes in the private
sector, like ObamaCare, we end up with a celebrity in chief who chooses
to spend valuable time marketing his product--ObamaCare--on comedy
shows rather than focusing on our wavering economy, jobs, and crises in
Ukraine, Syria, Venezuela, Israel, and North Korea.
This week, the administration released its number for total
enrollment in the President's health care law--4.2 million. This falls
miserably short of the President's goal to enroll 7 million people by
the end of this month. And what is worse is that health care experts
estimate that the majority of the 4.2 who have enrolled already had
insurance. The White House won't admit this, even though they know
exactly how many previously insured are part of the 4.2 million.
Mr. Speaker, this law was designed to insure the uninsured, but it is
failing in every single way. It is not helping those it was supposed to
help, and it is hurting those with coverage they wanted to keep in the
first place. The President needs to put the will of Americans ahead of
his own agenda and fix this mess he has created.
ObamaCare has turned into ObamaScare.
May God bless America, and in God we trust.
