              FOR DON: PASS THE KEEP YOUR HEALTH PLAN ACT

  (Ms. FOXX asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Ms. FOXX. Mr. Speaker, Don, one of my constituents from Lexington, 
wrote me a short email this week that everyone should hear. Don writes:

       My individual health plan cancels January 1. What is being 
     offered by healthcare.gov is triple the cost. I am unemployed 
     and desperately trying to keep health care until I reach 65 
     late next year. The President said, ``If you like your health 
     care plan, keep it.'' Please do whatever you can to make that 
     a reality and not another empty statement.

  We hear Don loud and clear, Mr. Speaker. ObamaCare isn't living up to 
the President's promise.
  But this week we can change that. The House will vote Friday to give 
the President a real opportunity to keep his word to the American 
people through the Keep Your Health Plan Act of 2013.
  For Don and for millions like him, who have been shocked to find the 
health plans they like will soon be illegal, supporting its passage is 
the least the President can do.
