Obamacare

Floor Speech

Date: Nov. 14, 2013
Location: Washington, DC
Issues: Health Insurance

Mr. Speaker, I want you to meet Andrew Parks, a hardworking young man from Bossier City, Louisiana, who has been hammered twice by ObamaCare. Earlier this year, his employer did what so many other businesses were forced to do by the ObamaCare employer mandate. They reduced Andrew's hours from a nearly 40-hour work week to 26 hours a week. He suffered a substantial loss in pay.

Then, the other shoe dropped. His employer recently sent him this notice from a national firm that his health insurance would not meet ObamaCare standards and would be discontinued at the end of the year. His ordeal couldn't be much worse.

Andrew has fought through a long-term illness and is a survivor of cancer, yet all he has asked for is the opportunity to work hard, to earn a living, and to keep his health insurance that he could afford. All ObamaCare has done is make those goals much more difficult to reach.

ObamaCare is damaging our economy and harming individuals. It needs to be repealed and repealed now.
