Foxx: Obamacare to Hit North Carolinians Right in the Wallet

Statement

Date: Sept. 26, 2013
Location: Washington, DC

After information released by the Department of Health and Human Services showed individuals in North Carolina stand to face significantly higher costs under Obamacare, Congresswoman Virginia Foxx (R-NC), a cosponsor of the American Health Care Reform Act, issued the following statement:

"Despite promises of affordability and cost reductions, behind the Obama Administration's spin is the ugly truth that too many North Carolinians and families will be paying more for insurance on January 1st than they are paying today. Higher insurance rates and higher taxes, due to Obamacare, are going to hit families right in the wallet. Where's the affordability in that?

"There is a better way to move forward with patient-centered health care reform. The American Health Care Reform Act will undo the damage of Obamacare, extend coverage to those with preexisting conditions, give individuals power in the health care market, and allow patients to take advantage of affordable coverage options outside their own state. I am proud to cosponsor this legislation."
