On the recordDecember 3, 2013
I was saddened and angered by a recent email I received from a distraught constituent. Julia from Gurnee, Illinois, told me she is now one of the millions whose health insurance will be canceled because of ObamaCare. Buying a comparable plan means her out-of-pocket expenses will jump more than $5,200 a year. Worse, the smaller network excludes her current doctor--the doctor she has seen for 33 years. Only doubling her premiums would allow her to keep the doctor who has known and cared for her for most of her adult life. The President promised middle class families would pay $2,500 less in annual health care costs under ObamaCare. He promised they would be able to keep their insurance plans and their doctors. Julia's story proves again how empty those promises were. The Senate and the President must act, as the House has, to allow all Americans to keep their doctors. Americans can't afford more broken promises. ____________________
