Occurrences in the Congressional Record

Entry Title Date
Rumpelstiltskin June 6, 2013
Steve King, R-IA
"Yet, this administration goes after them. And when he heard the heat that came back from the churches and, particularly, the Roman Catholic Church, the President did a press conference at noon on a Friday, and he said, I’m going to make an accommodation to the religious institution, an accommodation. Now I’m going to require the insurance companies to provide these things for free, abortifacients, contraceptives, sterilizations, and he repeated himself, “for free.”"
Why The Affordable Care Act Must Be Repealed May 15, 2013
Morgan Griffith, R-VA
"And I also notice that the report says, from the data that was obtained from the insurance companies, that my home State of Virginia is going to have a 31 percent premium increase in the small group; again, not talking about the large group rates, while they will be affected by the taxes."
Health Care May 15, 2013
Harry Reid, D-NV
"The insurance companies would like nothing better than to have things the way they used to be and to once again deny coverage to sick children, impose lifetime caps on care, and discriminate against those with preexisting conditions. Since President Obama signed the Affordable Care Act into law, insurance companies can no longer put profits ahead of people."
Republican Freshman Class On The Need To Repeal Obamacare May 14, 2013
Chris Collins, R-NY
"Supporters of ObamaCare will say these fees are supposed to be paid by the health insurance companies; but common sense, substantiated by independent studies, tells you the insurance companies are passing these costs directly on to consumers in the form of higher premiums. To avoid the taxes and fees, companies are cutting jobs, not hiring, and are reducing employee hours to stay under ObamaCare thresholds, all this at a time when national unemployment remains embarrassingly high."
Jobs And Health Care May 7, 2013
John Garamendi, D-CA
"I notice that they also did not spend any time at all talking about their effort to destroy Medicare. Medicare was a promise made to seniors by the American people that when they reach 65 years of age, they would have a guaranteed health insurance program. Yet, for the last 2 years and 4 months, the Republicans have continually put up legislation that would end Medicare as we know it and turn Medicare over to the insurance companies."
