Over and over and over again, the President told the American people: If you like your health plan, you can keep it. If that were true, why then is Kaiser Health News reporting that ``health plans are sending hundreds of thousands of cancelation letters to people who buy their own coverage''? The Kaiser report goes on to say that some consumers are now being forced to ``buy more costly policies.'' If folks turn to the government for help--if they go to healthcare.gov--they will be met with so many bugs and glitches as to make signing up almost impossible. Mr. Speaker, this is simply not fair. Nor is it fair that the President wants to find people who can't sign up using his own faulty Web site. House Republicans want to promote fair solutions that create more jobs for all Americans. That is how we are going to get our economy growing. ____________________
