McConnell: Obamacare - Impact on Kentucky

Mar 21 2012

"In my own state of Kentucky, an estimated 387,000 more people will be forced into Medicaid — at a time when Kentucky's Medicaid program is already facing large deficits just trying to provide benefits to current Medicaid recipients.

"As a result of this law, more than 1 million Kentuckians, or 29 percent of the state's population, will soon be on Medicaid. Kentucky's governor — a Democrat — is on record saying he has no idea how Kentucky will meet its responsibilities if this law forces several hundred thousand more people into the state's Medicaid program. The math just doesn't add up.

"And this is just one example of how the law is unsustainable and hurts the most vulnerable the most. The bottom line is this: This health care law is a mess."

Portman Visits Columbus Manufacturer to Discuss Gas Prices, Keystone XL Pipeline Project

Mar 21 2012

U.S. Senator Rob Portman visited Ametek Solidstate Controls in Columbus, Ohio to address rising gas prices and discuss pro-growth energy solutions that will lessen America's dependence on oil imported from OPEC. Ametek Solidstate Controls, a worldwide leader in the production of uninterruptible power supplies, inverters and battery charger systems, is expected to secure work on the Keystone XL Pipeline project. Portman is an advocate of the project because it will increase access to oil from a dependable American ally, create thousands of jobs, and benefit Ohio's struggling manufacturing sector.

Obamacare Isn't a Solution; It's a Disaster

Mar 20 2012

The president made a lot of promises back when he was pushing for his health care legislation. He promised Americans would be able to keep their health insurance if they liked it. He promised that he would extend coverage without adding to the deficit. And he promised the legislation would create jobs. It's now clear that not one of those promises will be fulfilled. In fact, the president's health care bill will force millions of Americans out of their existing plans, spend more than $1 trillion over the next 10 years, and reduce employment by 800000 jobs over the next decade. The president's health care bill is not a solution to the problems in our health care system: it is a disaster.
