Bell: This Fight Is for You

The
Heritage Foundation has been talking about defunding Obamacare for
some time now, and people may be wondering why. Why did we put up a
billboard in Times Square warning Americans that Obamacare will be
hazardous to their health? Why won’t we give up this fight?
Because
we are fighting for you.
We’re
fighting for the grandmother who is counting on her trusted physician
to guide her through the challenges of aging. Because Obamacare means
you can’t necessarily keep your doctor if you like him, and it’s
cutting down on the health care choices available to seniors.
We’re
fighting for the couple who’s raising their own children while
wondering how they’re going to care for their aging parents. Their
premiums are going up and they’re wondering how they’ll afford
it.
We’re
fighting for the waiter who’s going to school and working
full-time. Obamacare is causing many employers to cut back on
workers’ hours so that they don’t have to provide them with
health insurance. For many people, that means losing income and
losing health insurance at the same time.
We’re
fighting for the single mom who needs a steady job to support her
kids. Obamacare is making jobs tougher to find, because a lot of
businesses are saying they just can’t hire anyone new. The burden
of the law’s mandates and regulations is making it too costly.
Every
one of you is working hard to support your family, stay healthy, and
make the best choices you can make. Obamacare is only getting in the
way.
So no
matter what anyone says, we’re going to keep fighting. Harry Reid
is threatening to use all sorts of procedural gimmicks to keep
Obamacare going. But Americans are catching on that this law is the
reason their spouses don’t have health insurance any more, or their
kids’ doctor isn’t in their network any more. They’re seeing
how unfair and harmful it is.
And
we can’t just sit by and let Obamacare take away the health plans
we like, the doctors we like, and the freedom to make our own health
care choices.
We
won’t stop fighting. You can count on it.
