Mr. Speaker, the train wreck and broken promises of the President's health care reform act continue. The gentleman from Connecticut earlier said that we were hysterical. Mr. Speaker, my constituents are hysterical about these broken promises. Allen from Harford County writes about his 31-year-old son. His 31- year-old son can't get a full-time job because employers won't hire people full-time because of the Affordable Care Act. He writes: I'm writing today to voice my concern as a parent and to report that my healthy 31-year-old son's health insurance premium will be tripling. Currently, he has his own CareFirst BlueCross plan and was recently notified that it was going to be canceled, and his premium will go up from $200 a month to $600 a month. Mr. Speaker, this is a train wreck. Parents and families are hysterical. They can't afford a $600 premium for a single person working a part-time job. Canceled policies and skyrocketing premium costs are two broken promises. America deserves better. ____________________
