“Recently the House of Representatives passed, on a bipartisan basis, H.R. 3522, the Employee Health Care Protection Act by Congressman Bill Cassidy. This bipartisan act that passed the House would keep the President's core promise throughout the ObamaCare debate when he told every American: If you like the health care coverage you have, you can keep it--period, end of story. I am bringing this up in the Senate because it is vital that the President, and everyone who made that pledge, keep that promise, and the bill that was enacted into law would do that. Again, the bill is limited, focused, and straightforward. It lets small businesses and workers keep their health care coverage if they like it. It provides more affordable health care options for American workers who don't want or can't afford the other ObamaCare mandated plans. Again, the President and every Democrat who voted for ObamaCare promised that explicitly again and again and again. When that didn't happen--when millions of Americans were kicked off the plan they had and liked and wanted to keep--Americans rightly felt misled. In fact, that led to the President's promise and commitment ``if you like your plan, you can keep it'' being labeled by nonpartisan sources in 2013 as the ``lie of the year.'' This bill would fix that and make it good. It would not repeal ObamaCare. It would fix that part of ObamaCare. It would make that promise good.…”
