Obamacare

Floor Speech

Mr. McCLINTOCK. Mr. Speaker, by the government's own numbers, for every American who has found health coverage under ObamaCare since it rolled out, some 50 Americans have lost their health insurance on the individual market, but that doesn't account for the many millions more who are losing employer insurance or are losing wages as a direct result of the Democrats' ObamaCare fiasco.

One such family is the Howard Asbury family in Mariposa, California. Mr. Asbury writes:

I am a retired union carpenter, and I am covered under the union's retiree health plan. When I retired, my wife went to work in the billing department for an ambulance company. Yesterday, she was informed by the owner that he was dropping all health care coverage and cutting all employees below supervisor to part-time. We will be able to enroll her and our two children under my retirement health plan through my union, although this does not address the loss of income. So now we have to pay for her coverage and the children on $440 less income.

Mr. Speaker, my office is being flooded by such complaints. I have to believe that our colleagues across the aisle are hearing the same things. Why aren't they listening?
