Sen. Kennedy Speaks on Senate Floor About Rising Costs of Health Care Across the Nation

WASHINGTON, July 27 -- The office of Sen. John Kennedy, R-La., issued the following news release:

U.S. Sen. John Kennedy (R-La.) spoke on the floor of the U.S. Senate this afternoon to talk about the rising costs of health insurance. Full video of his remarks are below.

"Obamacare was sold as something that would solve America's health care problems. Instead, we've seen costs soar more than 25%, and fewer and fewer insurance options available in the marketplace," said Sen. Kennedy. "It is now clearer than ever that Obamacare has failed to live up to its promises. Americans should not be forced to buy insurance they don't like at prices they can't afford. We need more choice, more competition, less fraud, and a health care delivery system that puts patients and their doctors in charge, not Washington politicians and bureaucrats. Americans deserve better than Obamacare."
