                  OBAMACARE IS HURTING SOUTH CAROLINA

  (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. Madam Speaker, when Mary West purchased 
insurance through the government health care Web site, she didn't 
expect to lose access to her doctor.
  Ms. West struggles with diabetes and high blood pressure. Because of 
these health concerns, she has developed a relationship with the 
doctors she trusted at Spartanburg Regional Healthcare System.
  She was devastated when she realized that her policy was not accepted 
by her local hospital. Trying to obtain an alternative policy that 
would be taken at Spartanburg Regional has been even more difficult due 
to the lack of communication between the provider and the hospital.
  This story, highlighted over the weekend in the Spartanburg Herald 
Journal, reveals the nightmares South Carolinians and millions of 
Americans are experiencing as a direct result of ObamaCare's failures.
  This unworkable law is tragically flawed. It is not fair that the 
President's broken promises have created barriers when making a trip to 
the doctor.
  ObamaCare will continue to hammer down on our families if it is not 
repealed and replaced with a commonsense solution that maintains the 
doctor-patient relationship, instead of Big Government's dictates 
destroying jobs.
  In conclusion, God bless our troops, and we will never forget 
September the 11th in the global war on terrorism.
