WASHINGTON, D.C. — East Texas Congressman Louie Gohmert is personally feeling the effects of Obamacare. KETK reports the Tyler lawmaker has dropped his own health care insurance. He says the Affordable Care Act caused his insurance to jump from about $300 to about $1500 a month. Gohmert says he can’t afford the increase, so his family is setting some money aside every month, “and hoping that we can take whatever comes along.” Gohmert has the option to take a government subsidy for his health care insurance, but he says he doesn’t think it’s fair to accept that.
