On the recordNovember 14, 2013
Madam Speaker, I rise today to shed light on the President's broken health care promise. The President promised over and over again that Americans who like their health care plans could keep them, but that is just not true. Here is what Wendy from my district wrote me: My BlueCross BlueShield policy will be canceled due to ObamaCare starting March 1, 2014. I checked out other policy options under ObamaCare and the least expensive qualifying plan was an additional $208.44 per month. This is with a higher deductible, larger out-of-pocket expense, and only three doctor visits per year per person. This is outrageous. Additionally, this rate only includes me and my three children, not even my husband. I guess we can't even keep a family together under ObamaCare. As Wendy's story exemplifies, and as we predicted since 2010, ObamaCare is fundamentally flawed in concept and execution. Dictated government health care cannot beat free-market choices. And as a health care professional, I will continue to do all that I can to protect the American people from ObamaCare. ____________________
