Once again today the President said to the American people, if you like your health care plan, you can keep it--at least for 1 more year, if you're lucky. The problem is saying something many times does not magically make it come true. Right now, only 701 people in the State of Indiana have been able to sign up for insurance through the Affordable Care Act exchanges. According to the Indiana Department of Insurance, more than 108,000 Hoosiers will receive or have received cancelation letters. One of those people is Michael Sturgis of Greensburg. He called my office after receiving a cancelation letter from his insurance company. Michael was told his monthly premium was going to increase from $397 a month to $831 a month. His $5,000 deductible will go up to $7,300. That is unacceptable, and it is certainly not affordable. That is why we need to pass H.R. 3350, the Keep Your Health Plan Act of 2013, and let the American people remain in charge of their health care. ____________________

Nothing unites Indiana's Sixth Congressional District quite like the simple phrase, ``we must stand with Israel.'' Throughout most of my rural district that has far more Christian churches than synagogues, Hoosiers are united in their…
