Political Quotes

“Since 2010, President Obama has touted his well-known phrase: If you like your health care plan, you will be able to keep your health care plan. The past few weeks have made it very clear that President Obama has failed to keep that promise. According to the Associated Press, 3.5 million people have already seen their health plans canceled. Constituents from all over eastern and southeastern Ohio have been contacting my office, notifying me of skyrocketing premiums and canceled health plans. Take, for instance, Cathy, from my hometown of Marietta, Ohio. Here is the letter she received. She was notified that her plan is not in compliance under the requirements of the ACA and that it would, instead, be rolled over into a better plan. It turns out that the ``better'' plan increases her premiums from $670 a month to $1,600 a month--more than double. Skyrocketing premiums, canceled plans and a complete takeover of health care do not make health care affordable. The President should keep his promise to the American people, let Congress work to fix this problem and support the Keep Your Health Plan Act. ____________________”
