                    CONSTITUENT LETTERS ON OBAMACARE

  (Mr. RICE of South Carolina asked and was given permission to address 
the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. RICE of South Carolina. Mr. Speaker, I just wanted to read a 
couple of the letters that have come into my office about the new 
health care law.

       I'm a senior citizen working part time. I can no longer see 
     my doctor of 14 years. I know of other people getting their 
     hours cut and not being able to find a job, and they don't 
     know what their health care will be.

  The next one:

       We have 24 employees and have been in business since 1982. 
     We currently pay 100 percent of the premium health care 
     insurance for our employees. After discussing this with our 
     health care provider, we've determined that when ObamaCare is 
     put in place, we will no longer be able to provide health 
     care insurance.

  The next one:

       Higher premiums, higher deductibles, less coverage.

  Next:

       I have been paying insurance to Blue Cross/Blue Shield for 
     25 years now. A month and a half ago, I got a letter in the 
     mailbox, saying, I am losing my coverage due to the Obama 
     health care law. I thought Mr. Obama promised no one had to 
     change insurance companies. Mr. Obama has told a lie, and 
     there's no other way to say it.

  Next one:

       My insurance company is dropping my business. So much for 
     being able to keep your insurance if you want to. Not. A 
     small business owner like me is--up a creek.

  Well, that's not exactly what he said.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Members are reminded to refrain from 
engaging in personalities toward the President.
