Jim Inhofe (R-Okla.) today announced the launch of a new web page entitled \u201cYour Story\u201d for the purpose of hearing how the Affordable Care Act (ACA), commonly known as ObamaCare, is impacting Oklahomans.\r\n\u201cPresident Obama promised the American people time and again that \u2018if you like your plan you can keep it,\u2019 but millions of people across America and throughout Oklahoma are finding that not to be the case,\u201d said Inhofe. \u201cWhen I travel across the state, I hear stories of people losing access to their doctors or of their premium and deductibles skyrocketing since the launch of HealthCare.gov. I am asking Oklahomans to submit their stories of how ObamaCare is impacting their healthcare so that I can best work with my Senate colleagues to protect Oklahomans from further fallout. I am committed to addressing Oklahomans' concerns and replacing ObamaCare with common-sense healthcare reform.\u201d\r\nOklahomans can submit their story by visiting: https://www.inhofe.senate.gov/feedback/yourstory.\u00a0\r\nSince 2010, Inhofe has supported efforts and cosponsored legislation to repeal and defund ObamaCare.\u00a0Inhofe is also a cosponsor of the following efforts to improve Oklahomans\u2019 healthcare:\r\nThe Medical Care Access Protection (MCAP) Act (S.44), a bill that would reform the medical malpractice claim system to help reduce costly, excessive lawsuits and help to improve patient safety and quality of care. \r\nFamily and Retirement Health Investment Act (S.1031), a bill that would strengthen and expand Health Savings Accounts (HSAs) and Flexible Spending Arrangements (FSAs).\r\nPreventing and Reducing Improper Medicare and Medicaid Expenditures (PRIME) Act (S.1123), a bill that would enact stronger penalties for Medicare and Medicaid fraud and establish stronger fraud and waste prevention strategies; curb improper payments made by the programs; curb the theft of physician identities; and improve the sharing of fraud data across state and federal agencies and programs.\r\n\r\nDelay the employer and Individual ACA mandates (S.1488), a bill that would delay the ACA mandates on employers and individuals until 2015. Inhofe is also a cosponsor of bills to ultimately repeal both the employer mandate (S.399) and the individual mandate (S.4). \r\n\r\nNo Exemption for Washington from ObamaCare Act (S.1497), a bill that would eliminate premium subsidies for Congress and staff and extends exchange requirements to the executive branch. \r\n\r\nIf You Like Your Plan You Can Keep It Act (S.1617), a bill that would expand grandfathering of healthcare plans to include any plan currently in existence.\r\n\r\nFor a full list of legislation that Inhofe is sponsoring or cosponsoring related to healthcare, please select the \u201clegislation\u201d tab on www.inhofe.senate.gov.\r\n\r\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://www.inhofe.senate.gov/newsroom/press-releases/inhofe-asks-oklahomans-to-share-how-obamacare-is_impacting-their-healthcare"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.8534817025065422, "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"}
