Obamacare

Floor Speech

Mr. GRIFFIN of Arkansas. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to tell the stories of real people in Arkansas' Second Congressional District who are being hurt by ObamaCare.

Many of them have seen their work hours reduced. Others are seeing their premiums double, triple, and quadruple. Many are losing the health insurance plans they would like to keep and wondering why President Obama told them repeatedly that that would never happen.

One single mom in Little Rock told me that her current health insurance plan will be canceled at the end of the year in just 6 weeks. She is worried this will affect her daughter who is about to start graduate school.

Terry and his wife in Rose Bud, Arkansas, will see their premium rise from $380 to more than $1,000 per month. That is not affordable.

Daniel Hanley, here with his horse, a vet in Little Rock, received notification that his health insurance plan was being canceled because of ObamaCare. The cancelation notice says:

ObamaCare will ultimately prevent us from offering competitive medical insurance ..... as a result, we anticipate that your medical insurance policy will be ending effective midnight December 31, 2013.

It is clear that ObamaCare is a broken law, and its broken Web site is only the beginning. ObamaCare must be repealed so we can pass real patient-centered health care reform.
