Mr. Speaker, American families are watching the train wreck of the President's health care reform law coming down the track at them each and every day. Promises were made by the President and by supporters of the law that if you like your plan, you can keep it. Promises were made that family plans would cost $2,500 a year less under ObamaCare. Those promises just weren't true. David in Carroll County wrote me just this morning to let me know what his family is going through with their health insurance. David is self-employed and is married with three children. He likes his family plan. He doesn't think it is substandard in any way, but his family just got a cancelation notice. Mr. Speaker, they won't get to keep the plan they like. His new plan, which the Federal Government says that they have to buy, will cost $400 more per month, an increase of almost $5,000 more per year, not a decrease as the President promised. David's family is just a hardworking, middle class family trying to make ends meet. Mr. Speaker, David and his family deserve better than broken promises. ____________________

Less than a third pay on time, and, again, you will have to get back to me as to whether or not the Department, if they just need more resources to enforce this with the insurers.
