I thank the chairman for sponsoring this great bill. In my State of Florida, 300,000 individuals have lost their health care plans due to ObamaCare, and hardworking Americans, like my constituent Mark from Pasco County, are being adversely affected by this law. Mark currently has a plan that he likes, but ObamaCare will take it away. His new equivalent plan on the exchange comes with a $12,000 deductible and $1,000 monthly premiums. He and his wife are about 60 years old and do not qualify for subsidies. They are very healthy, but they are punished, Mr. Speaker. I don't understand, they are punished by the President's health care law. That is why I am proud to be an original cosponsor of the Keep Your Health Plan Act to remove the barriers preventing hardworking Americans from keeping their health care plans under ObamaCare. We need to pass this bill so we can give the American people the peace of mind they deserve.
