Recently, the Obama Administration revealed that premiums for enrollees will rise 76 percent for Oklahomans next year.\n\u00a0\n\u201cThe Obama Administration has confirmed what we knew would become a reality: Obamacare is simply unaffordable and just does not work,\u201d said Cole. \u201cFrom the beginning, the system has been flawed in both quality and quantity. Premiums and deductibles are outrageous, people can\u2019t access their doctors and insurance companies are frantically drawing back their participation. These are all real problems that are proof that one-size-fits-all healthcare simply does not work.\u201d\n\u00a0\n\u201cSince its initial passage, Republicans have predicted that Obamacare would fail, and it\u2019s beginning to unfold right in front of us,\u201d continued Cole. \u201cI\u2019m glad to support the blueprint that Republicans in Congress have set forward to replace this deeply flawed healthcare system. The Better Way Agenda will provide a healthcare system that embraces free markets, consumer choice and minimal regulations and mandates and puts back quality and consumer choice in American healthcare.\u201d\n\u00a0\n###", 1, "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z", "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://cole.house.gov/media-center/press-releases/cole-responds-revelations-rising-obamacare-premiums"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.994333066046238, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
