ANOTHER OBAMACARE DEBACLE
(Ms. FOXX asked and was given permission to address the House for 1
minute.)
Ms. FOXX. Mr. Speaker, last month, the Obama administration admitted
that it sent inaccurate tax forms to 820,000 Americans who receive
health insurance through ObamaCare. Individuals who received subsidies
must fill out the 1095-A form to document what they have received for
the past year.
The government is advising people not to file their tax returns until
they have the correct forms, but just last week Kevin Counihan, the man
responsible and accountable for leading healthcare.gov, declined to say
when ObamaCare participants will get the correct tax forms and if all
of the new forms have been created.
Since its implementation, the President's health care law has proved
to be a hindrance, not a help, to the health care market. This debacle
is yet another example of why we must continue to work towards
repealing this ill-conceived law and replacing it with policies that
empower patients and promote access to affordable health care options.
