The Affordable Care Act, also known as ObamaCare, needs to be repealed and replaced with better legislation. There is no administrative or legislative fix that will repair this flawed law. Millions of Americans across the United States are receiving notices that their health insurance plans are being canceled. Jeff is a constituent of mine in San Antonio, Texas. His insurance company sent him a notice informing him that his current coverage will be canceled at the end of the year. His new ObamaCare policy will cost 98 percent more than his current plan. After the administration's announcement today, Jeff and his family may be able to keep their health care insurance coverage, but only for 1 year, and at what cost? We need to replace ObamaCare with commonsense solutions that lower costs, expand access to care, and eliminate unfair mandates and penalties. ____________________
