False Promises

Floor Speech

Date: Oct. 29, 2013
Location: Washington, DC
Issues: Health Insurance

Mr. HARRIS. Mr. Speaker, another day goes by, and the ObamaCare train wreck continues.

In 2009, President Obama promised, If you like your health care plan, you can keep it. It still promises that on the White House Web site and on the healthcare.gov Web site if and when you can get on that Web site.

Mr. Speaker, when are these false promises going to end? What do I say to Gail in Maryland who wrote me this?

I have been informed by Blue Cross & Blue Shield of Maryland that I cannot keep my current coverage and will have to choose a new policy. ..... I have to change my coverage and pay 53 percent more in premiums for coverage that is not as good. My husband and I ..... will now have to pay at least $330 more per month for less coverage.

Gail and her family will lose the plan they like and will have to pay almost $4,000 more per year for a plan that delivers less.

Mr. Speaker, American families deserve better than false promises.
