AMERICANS WILL BE FORCED TO CHANGE THEIR HEALTH CARE PLAN
(Mr. FLEMING asked and was given permission to address the House for
1 minute.)
Mr. FLEMING. Mr. Speaker, the selling of ObamaCare to the American
public has been trademarked by one empty promise after another. On
September 9, 2009, President Obama infamously promised Americans, and I
quote, ``If you are among the hundreds of millions of Americans who
already have health insurance through your job, nothing in this plan
will require you or your employer to change the coverage or the doctor
you have.'' Yet yesterday, in an ironic twist, the Obama administration
released draft regulations indicating that up to 69 percent of
employer-provided plans may be forced to change their health plans when
the new health care law's mandates and requirements begin.
Speaker Pelosi was quoted as saying that we will have to pass this
bill to find out what's in it. As the fine print is being placed, we
are learning bad news daily about this unpopular law.
Mr. Speaker, I again ask: How many promises will ObamaCare have to
break with the American people before we repeal this disastrous
legislation?
