Keep the Plan you Like

Floor Speech

Madam Speaker, I rise today on behalf of the thousands of Pennsylvanians from my district who are going to lose their health care coverage because of the rules and regulations of ObamaCare. I invited a number of them into my office, and their stories were both revealing and heartbreaking.

A small business woman from Newtown Square shared her story of shopping for a new plan after her policy was canceled. She must now pay more each month for a plan she doesn't like and coverage she does not want. Yet another is losing her doctor after more than 20 years because she was forced to switch insurance companies. Her long-term doctor isn't covered under the new, more expensive plan. And one constituent received this letter from her insurance company, informing her that she would have to pay as much as $3,500 more. It has higher deductibles and higher copays.

Madam Speaker, Americans are already struggling in this economy. Tomorrow the House will vote to ensure that the families that like their plans can keep them. President Obama and Senate Democrats should keep their promise to the American people and do the same.
