Steve Stivers: “3.5 million Americans have seen their health care plans canceled under the Affordable Care Act. I've personally heard…”

“3.5 million Americans have seen their health care plans canceled under the Affordable Care Act. I've personally heard from many constituents in my district who are seeing their health care plans canceled. For example, Anthony, who is a small business owner in my district, got these letters from his insurance plan saying that his plan would be canceled. As a result of that, there is a new plan that is available to him, but his monthly cost goes up by a little over 80 percent, and that is low compared to some. He is in the process of building a business, and he just hired his first employee. He told me he is scared to death to hire another employee because he just got his health insurance canceled and the cost doubled. It is just another story of how this law is hurting people and stifling job creation. I would like to ask all my colleagues to join me in supporting Chairman Upton's bill, the Keep Your Health Plan Act. I urge all of you to support it. ____________________”
