Obamacare

Floor Speech

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. LEE. Mr. President, the President of the United States promised: If you like your plan, you can keep it. We all know now that simply wasn't true. Though many of us have been saying this for years, many Americans, including many in my State, are realizing the pain of the President's false statement.

Dave from Utah says: My company just dropped the good insurance plan we have had for years due to ObamaCare. The Affordable Care Act is costing me more money. I am barely able to keep my family out of poverty, and now health care is going to cost me even more. Please do something to change this.

Marcy from Utah says: We own a small business in Utah and we will be forced to cancel our insurance and ourselves go on ObamaCare.

We can start over with a new way to fix our health care system, but starting over doesn't necessarily have to mean starting from scratch. We should take those lessons we have learned and we should build around the concept of a market-driven, patient-centered health care system, one that empowers individual Americans to choose their own health insurance based on their own personal needs and based on their own preferences.

I thank the Chair.
