Last week, President Obama apologized for not being ``clear enough'' when he promised to the public that if you like your current health care plan, you can keep it. Now, 3.5 million Americans have already received letters from their insurance companies informing them their current plan will no longer be offered. That number is expected to reach 10 million. Let me share with you just two stories from the 25th District of Texas. Robert from Austin, Texas, started a new business this year and has private insurance for his family that costs $450 a month. His insurer called him this week to let him know his premiums will now be $1,200 a month--more than his mortgage. What is affordable about that? Dianne from Driftwood, Texas, is a cancer survivor with an adopted special needs child and believed the President when he said she could keep her and her child's doctors, but her doctors will no longer accept her insurance. Mr. Speaker, I have a growing pile of similar letters and emails on my desk, and what I see is a tragedy in America. Let's let those who like their health care keep their health care, let's make positive reforms for those currently uninsured, and let's restore the financial stability and relief that ObamaCare has robbed from many of us. Americans are hurting. In God we trust. ____________________
