Mr. Cornyn madam president . The presiding officer the republican whip. Mr. Wiern madam president , four years ago mr. Cornyn madam president , four years ago members of this senate came to the floor every a day to talk about Americas Health care system. I remember distinctly being here on Christmas Eve, 2009, at 7 00 in the morning, witnessing a partyline vote on obamacare, all of our democratic friends voted for it, all republicans voted against it. I guess the most charitable thing i could say our domestic friends actually thought it would work while republicans were skeptics about this biggovernment takeover of onesixth of our national economy. Well, four years later the cost of obamacare has become abundantly clear. I dont think its an exaggeration to say that obamacare is the biggest case of Consumer Fraud ever perpetrated in this country. A law that was supposed to expand coverage to those without it has instead caused millions of people with coverage to lose theirs, a law that
Insurance. However, today i received a letter stating that due to the new Health Care Law, our Insurance Premium for the next year would go up to 918. 21. So theyre going from 520 a month to 918. 21 a month. This means were facing a 400permonth in our Insurance Premium. This amounts to a 4,800 tax increase for a family, for a middleincome Small Business owning family. This is an outrageous intrusion by the federal government into an area that had ha it had no bs going. It was possible for the selfemployed to get their own insurance. There was a safety net and state and federal programs for people who couldnt get insurance. The Affordable Care act is not affordable and it was not ever necessary. From inderlin, north dakota, Small Business loses employee coverage. And what youre seeing is people in all different walks of life in different situations, some working for themselves, some working for Small Businesses, some working for large companies, some retired, some with kids, some elderl
No, that would be great. Let me share with you a story from michigan that was highlighted in an article in the l. A. Times that talked about a woman named judith, 48 years old, work in a department store, had an Insurance Plan that costs are 65 per month that was a was affordable, she thought she had insurance, but then she was diagnosed with cancer and found out that her plan had a 2000 annual limit for treatment, so she delayed her care and it got worse, she was in a difficult situation. Madame secretary, after january 1, will judith or any other woman face a cap on their coverage for Breast Cancer treatment . No. Will judith or any other woman be charged more or be denied insurance just for being a woman . No. After january 1 will judith or any other woman have to fear being denied coverage by her Insurance Company because of Breast Cancer . No, she will not. These are all good things. Some people in michigan certainly think so. I received a letter from greg miller, who said that hi
Someone dismantled a fire hydrant near my home and threw it in my pool in the backyard. Things like that. Do you think the Supreme Court decision will change any have experienced. Class time will tell. This has been mentioned in the media. Why is it that christians who profess to be moral and upstanding people, would do such things . Any thoughts on the question . I like very much the way the session began. I thought her questioning was excellent. Do you think it will ever get easier . Eliminate a set of rare or these rails test these , the town four years of greece had a moment of silence. In 1999, the new supervisor changed all that for the race. [indiscernible] know. O not do you know if it was related to this case . I believe it was. This all happened when the case was being discussed in the local media. I have no doubt it was related. Thank you. I am the legal director of americans united for separation of church and they. United has been so proud since 2008 to have bins on sponso
