Clearwater Christian College Says ObamaCare Will Double Insurance Costs

Federal Information & News Dispatch, Inc.

Student health insurance costs at Clearwater Christian College, located in Representative C.W. Bill Young's10th Congressional District, are set to double this year. In a letter to students who will be affected by the cost hike, the College made it clear that the increase is due to the President's health care reform law.

In an interview with Fox News Radio, Rep. Young "said he was very disturbed by the impact ObamaCare will have on the religious school."

"This is a very good institution of learning - as well as a religious institution," Young told Fox News Radio. "It is a positive factor in our district and it's such a shame they are beginning to feel this."

Young isn't one to say 'I told you so,' - but he was one of only a handful of lawmakers to actually read the 2,700 page healthcare bill.

"Despite our warnings and telling our colleagues this was bad legislation - they passed the bill - and now we're finding out that all of the things we told them are coming true," he said. "The predictions of how bad it was going to be are coming true."

A student at the College, Curtis Johnson, told Fox News Radio "The President and the Democratic leaders in Congress championed this bill and they said it was going to lower the cost of healthcare, it's not only raised my cost, it doubled the cost of my healthcare. I remember when Nancy Pelosi said earlier that they had to pass the law to find out what was in it. I'm sure finding out for myself what's in this law. I really never thought it would directly affect me."
