Obamacare

Floor Speech

Date: Nov. 14, 2013
Location: Washington, DC
Issues: Health Insurance

Mr. PITTENGER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today on behalf of Martha Staley, a constituent from Cornelius, North Carolina. Ms. Staley is a retired registered nurse and a retired insurance agent. She understands health insurance better than most.

Recently, she received this letter, explaining that her current insurance was canceled due to ObamaCare and that her new plan would be twice as expensive. Quoting Ms. Staley:

There was nothing in the world wrong with my plan. What they are giving me is worse. I was told by the President that, if I liked my health care plan--which I do--I could keep it. I was told by the President that the ACA would help lower my costs.

President Obama made a simple direct promise to Ms. Staley. Tomorrow, I urge you to join me in voting for H.R. 3350, the Keep Your Health Plan Act. The American people don't need more apologies from the President. They need results.
