| Foxx Report for the Week of October 9, 2017 |
|
|
There can be no doubt that Obamacare is failing. The so-called Affordable Care Act has proved to be anything but affordable for North Carolinians. As has been widely reported, the Center for Medicare & Medicaid Services estimates that in 2018 over 95% of all counties in North Carolina will be dependent on only one insurer on the Obamacare exchange. The lack of choices and the absence of a free market for health insurers is exactly what House Republicans are fighting to fix.
Today, I joined Charles Payne on the Fox Business Channel to talk more about House Republican efforts to repair the damage done to the victims of Obamacare and our efforts to restore a free market for health care insurers and insurance.

Committee in Focus
This week in the House Committee on Oversight & Government Reform we examined the U.S. Government’s role in protecting international religious freedom. I shared a concern with one of the expert witnesses that women and girls are often the primary victims of religious freedom violations. No woman or girl should be forced into a marriage as a child or coerced into converting to a religion.

Constituents in Focus
The 5th District of North Carolina is home to many talented and successful individuals. I was pleased to highlight two fantastic people from the 5th District this week.
Stuart Epperson
As many of you know, Stuart Epperson founded the Salem Media Group. Millions of listeners tune in each day, to hear inspiring and informative stories on Mr. Epperson’s radio stations. Mr. Epperson’s audience is tuning in to be inspired and to be informed. The content put forth by the Salem Media Group, serves as a beacon of hope to the many families seeking a positive and instructive voice.
Additionally, Stu has used his platform and success as an avenue to give back through community activities. Among those activities are the Winston-Salem Rescue Mission, Salem Pregnancy Support Center, One Kid at a Time mentoring program and the Christian Association of Youth Mentoring, which he founded.
