                   OBAMACARE HURTS AMERICAN FAMILIES

  (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, ObamaCare is unaffordable, 
unsustainable, and unreliable. An overwhelming majority of the American 
people agree that this disastrous $1.2 trillion law must be replaced 
with a system that protects the doctor-patient relationship, as has 
been repeatedly introduced by Congressman Tom Price of Georgia.
  The South Carolina Department of Insurance has estimated that health 
insurance rates in the Federal exchanges will increase up to 70 percent 
for South Carolinians. A majority of other States will have premium 
increases that will skyrocket, destroying jobs.
  House Republicans have the best interests of Americans at heart. We 
know that hardworking families should not be forced to pay higher 
health care costs in addition to the financial burdens of everyday 
life.
  The Senate should act and adopt bipartisan legislation as the House 
did last week.
  We join with the American people to keep the government's doors open, 
defund ObamaCare, and control government spending.
  In conclusion, God bless our troops, and we will never forget 
September the 11th in the global war on terrorism.
