On the recordNovember 14, 2013
I would like to share two stories with you. I have a 30-year-old self-employed farmer. He had a major medical plan with a $2,500 deductible and paid 80 percent. He paid $122.17 a month. This plan was canceled. To get a plan now with a $6,000 deductible and pay 80 percent, it is $259.02 a month, but it will cover pediatric, dental, and maternity. He is an individual bachelor, self- employed. He is single and a male. His point is, ``I had a plan. I liked it. The President said I could keep it. That was a lie.'' I also want to share the story of Tara, Eric, and Ky Manzano. They are both employed with a son. Their premium is doubling. They are not sure how they will be able to save for college for Ky and pay for this insurance. The SPEAKER pro tempore. Members are reminded to refrain from engaging in personalities toward the President. ____________________
