Mr. President, Keep Your Promise

Floor Speech

Mr. WALBERG. Mr. Speaker, ``If you like your health plan, you can keep it'' was President Obama's promise to the people since 2009, but just last week, he attempted to apologize to those losing health insurance because of the law. While I am glad the President is starting to see the truth, the people need more than just apologies for broken promises.

In my Michigan district, a 29-year-old woman named Rosann has been battling sarcoma cancer for over a year. Because of her disease and treatments, she can't work full time, but through part-time work she has managed to pay all her own bills--that is, until she received a notice that she will lose her current health care coverage because of ObamaCare and have to pay $225 more a month for a government-approved plan.

Rosann doesn't need an apology. She just wants to keep her insurance, along with nearly 5 million other Americans who have lost their coverage in the last 6 weeks alone.

House Republicans remain committed to fighting for Americans and providing fairness for all. The President needs to join our efforts, Mr. Speaker, and keep his promise to the American people.
