              OBAMACARE PREMIUM HIKES ARE HURTING 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, the failing Affordable 
Care Act has proven not to be affordable for American families. Health 
care premiums have increased with confusing coverage destroying jobs.
  When Stepheni from Monetta went to the doctor, she found her ``copay 
for each therapy session is $250. However, I can be an uninsured self-
pay patient and get the same therapy for $85 per visit.''
  Connie from Aiken says, ``I was more than shocked to learn what used 
to be an $89 prescription was now more than $300.''
  America's devoted mothers know firsthand of the failure of ObamaCare. 
Small businesses are hiring more part-time workers than full-time 
workers because ObamaCare costs are too high. Longtime employees are 
having hours reduced, putting families at risk.
  We must repeal and replace ObamaCare, so that people like Stepheni 
and Connie receive relief from unworkable mandates.
  In conclusion, God bless our troops, and we will never forget 
September the 11th in the global war on terrorism.
  Best wishes for continued success for Chad Sydnor, Military 
Legislative Assistant of the Second District, for continued service 
with Senator John Boozman of Arkansas.
