I am pleased to cosponsor the Keep Your Health Plan Act to make sure individuals can keep the health care plans they like and need. I have asked Hoosiers in the State of Indiana to share their stories with me about their experiences with ObamaCare. The stories are shocking. Kathryn from South Bend got this letter from her insurance company stating that her plan will be canceled. Her monthly payments will increase from $186 per month to $329 per month--nearly double. Kathy from Elkhart is a cancer patient undergoing chemotherapy. Under ObamaCare, she now has to pay over $1,200 a month just for her own coverage. Barton, a small business owner, said his group premiums will increase up to 80 percent this year. These are serious problems causing incredible hardships for the very people we represent. It is time to work on commonsense reforms that will lower health care costs and improve the quality of care for our constituents. If we work together, we can get it done. ____________________
