Rep. Cynthia Lummis, R-Wyo.,  shared the heartbreaking story of her husband’s death today and outlined how the glitches in Obamacare have real-life consequences for Americans, including her.

Lummis spoke about her own experiences with the Affordable Care Act during a House Oversight and Government Reform hearing, which focused on the transparency of Obamacare. Marilyn Tavenner, administrator for the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, and Jonathan Gruber, a key architect of the law, testified.

The Wyoming Republican and her late husband, Alvin Wiederspahn, received health insurance through the new law. However, the couple encountered glitches in the system and were told they were not enrolled when they went to file claims.

During this time, Wiederspahn went to the doctor after experiencing chest pains and was instructed to have several tests done. Wiederspahn, however, opted not to have one final analysis conducted, as it coincided with the period when the couple was told they were not enrolled in Obamacare.

Wiederspahn died  in October after suffering a massive heart attack in his sleep.

“I want to suggest, that regardless of what happened to me personally, that there have been so many glitches in the passage and implementation of Obamacare that have real-life consequences on people’s lives,” Lummis said. “And the so-called ‘glibness’ that has been referenced today have direct consequences for real American people. So get over your d**n glibness.”
