Political Quotes

“Mr. Speaker, the train wreck of ObamaCare continues. In 2007, before he was elected President, the President said that family policy prices would go down $2,500 per family. That was the promise. In 2009, the President promised that, if you liked your policy, you would get to keep it. Mr. Speaker, I don't know what the President is going to say to Charles from northern Baltimore Country, who wrote me yesterday and said: I just received my cancellation letter from Blue Cross regarding my family's insurance policy. My $697-a-month Health Savings Account qualifiable policy is no longer compliant. To have a similar product in an ObamaCare- compliant plan, my premium will increase nearly 40 percent and will have a $7,000 deductible. Yikes. So much for, ``if you like your policy, you will get to keep it.'' Charles and his family are not getting a $2,500 cut in their premium. They are getting a $3,300 increase in their premium. Their deductible is going up to $7,000 a year. Mr. Speaker, they like their plan, but they don't get to keep it. The train wreck continues. ____________________”
