“Over 200,000 Pennsylvanians have been notified that they will lose their plans because of President Obama's health care law. What these numbers don't tell you are the stories of hardworking western Pennsylvanians like Don and Karen from Johnstown. Don is a Marine Corps veteran and former coal miner. He and Karen run a ministry that helps people in developing countries. Don recently let me know that he will lose his plan. He said: I specifically bought a health plan that met my needs. I liked my plan very much and it was something I could afford. When Don and Karen were able to get onto the Web site, the plan he was offered had a deductible of more than $6,000. In Don's words, this is ``ridiculous and unaffordable.'' Unfortunately, their story is not unique. We need health care reform that works for Don and Karen and the rest of the American people. The Empowering Patients First Act and the American Health Care Reform Act provide a good place to start and a better way on health care reform. ____________________”
