The President's health care plan is broken. Let me read from some of the letters and communications my office is getting from around my district. Mike and Pat in Queen Anne's County write: Mr. Harris, my daughter's health care premium just rose $648 a year thanks to the Affordable Care Act. Don't you or other Republicans give up the fight. Cindy from Talbot County writes: I have just discovered that I can't keep the medical insurance I have had for many years as it no longer exists thanks to ObamaCare. Even though I am 58 years old, I must pay for maternity benefits and pediatric dentistry when I have no child under 19. I get an increased deductible and a premium increase of $143 a month. What a mess that needs to be fixed and in a hurry. Finally, Lorraine from Queen Anne's County writes that, in tears, she called our office. She was told by her insurer that her premium was just increased $256 a month. Her total payment that she and her husband now are going to pay is $956 a month, and her insurer told her that it went up because of ObamaCare. Mr. Speaker, the President's health care plan is broken. ____________________
