talk about your home state of kentucky where it has seen opposition. >> it is unpopular. obama lost there in 2012. when you're in key states, i was in georgia and kentucky to follow volunteers and officials trying to set up exchanges and set up obama care. what you see is there's not a political debate they are trying to conduct, their argument is lets talk about policy. so when they come to someone's house, they don't ask do you like obama care. they say would you like health insurance that covers you, a pre-existing condition even if you're ill, subsidized and affordable. they avoid the political subject. i brought this here. it's called kynec. that's what they ties. you'll never hear obama care from officials. they will say to person, do you want to find out about kynec. there's very little political discussions when people talk about it in those terms. >> one thing, thomas. >> jump in. >> absolute favorite story about obama care comes out of kynect. there was a state fair in kentucky, i think it was the one mcconnell and competitors, tea barty were going after each ot

the gentleman from kentucky. mr. rogers: i yield two minutes georgia, leman from r. kingston. mr. kingston: we are here on continued debate. number one, health care is 1/6 of the economy. i think that before we turn over 1/6 of the economy to the federal government, we need to be very clear on the path that we're going on and right now, the path is anything but clear. in fact, to quote one of the leading democrat architects, he said it's a train wreck. to me to continue the debate on obamacare is the proper thing to do. 1/6 of the economy, think about that, mr. speaker. secondly, in terms of health care system, it's still the best health care system in the world. 40% of the medical tourists come to america for procedures and operations. can't say that about any other country. number three, obamacare has failed. two of its objectives, the prime objectives was number one to decrease the cost of health care and number two, to increase the access. and let's examine those. do you know anyone's health care premium that has
