Political Quotes

“Mr. Speaker, I am a cosponsor of the Keep Your Health Plan Act. We had promises to folks that they could keep their health plan and keep their doctors. Obviously, those promises are not being kept. A lot of Americans are finding out this hard news. One of them is Elizabeth Hoffman, this pretty young lady, and her son, from Hutto, Texas, a small town in my district. Elizabeth is a single mother with a young son. She does not get insurance through her employer. She got her insurance through Humana at $167 a month, with a $2,000 deductible. It was the plan she liked. She has now lost her plan. Humana has canceled that plan. The plan most similar to the one she has now costs $404 a month, with a $2,500 deductible. Needless to say, she is not happy. She is not happy with the Obama plan, and she is not happy with the exchange and is worried about the pharmacy she is going to go to. She is not likely to have insurance next year. ____________________”
