Mr. Speaker, I thank the chairman for his leadership on this piece of legislation, also the sponsor, Dr. Cassidy, for his leadership on this particular piece of legislation. I rise today in support of the Employee Health Care Protection Act. When the President said, ``If you like your plan, you can keep it,'' that was deemed PolitiFact's Lie of the Year. Then, millions of Americans across the country in the individual market received cancelation notices. They felt the impacts of the broken promises of the President's health care law. Now the specter of cancelations looms again. Up to 50 million people who get health care through their employers could have their plans canceled or disrupted because of rules and regulations in the President's health care law.

The SPEAKER pro tempore. Members are reminded not to engage in personalities toward the President of the United States.
