Recent Report Shows More Negative Impact for Floridians Due to Obamacare

June 19, 2014

WASHINGTON – Congressman Mario Diaz-Balart (R-FL) released the following statement in response to a recent report on healthcare premium increases by the Manhattan Institute for Policy Research.

"The report by the Manhattan Institute proves what many American families feared would happen under Obamacare. Not only are you unable to keep your healthcare plans and doctors of choice, but you are seeing your premiums skyrocket. Whether it's a 25% increase for a 40 year old woman, or a 65% for a 27 year old man, the President's healthcare plan is hurting the wallets of hardworking American taxpayers. I will continue to work for Floridians' access to the care they need, from the doctors they choose, at a price they can afford."
