Political Quotes

“Despite promises that, if you liked your current health plan, you could keep it, millions of Americans have already received cancelation notices regarding current coverage. No matter how you feel about the Affordable Care Act, Ohioans that like their health care coverage should be able to keep it. I have received countless emails and letters from Ohioans losing their coverage or being forced to pay more. One Ohioan who reached out to me because he was concerned about how higher costs could affect his family was Karl from Newbury, Ohio. Karl and his wife have six kids, recently bought a house, and stay busy because, not only is Karl a full-time employee, he is a full-time student. Karl and his wife recently received a notice that their family would have to pay 30 to 40 percent more for their health care coverage next year. Now Karl and his wife are worried because they won't be able to afford the mortgage on their new home because of the increased health care costs. Madam Speaker, Ohioans shouldn't be forced to pay more for health care because of a law coming out of Washington. That is why, this week, the House will vote for the Keep Your Health Plan Act, which will allow plans available on the individual market today to continue to be offered next year. It is a commonsense bill that will protect Americans from losing or paying more for their coverage, and I urge my colleagues to support it. ____________________”
