On the recordNovember 13, 2013
Mr. Speaker, Midge, one of the women I represent from Alexander County, wrote me to say: I am one of the many . . . policy holders whose policy was canceled due to ObamaCare mandates. My policy was great, affordable, and I liked it. The most similar policy Blue Cross can put me on has higher deductibles, higher coinsurance, and coverage that I don't need. For this new coverage, Midge and her husband are going to have to pay 81 percent more. Midge closed off her letter to me with this simple request: Please do all you can to help us be able to keep the plan we like as we were promised by our President. Letters like Midge's are pouring in from across the country to Democrats and Republicans alike. That is because promises aren't partisan issues, and promises matter to the American people. Let's require the President to keep this central ObamaCare promise by passing the Keep Your Health Plan Act. ____________________
