PRESIDENT OBAMA'S BROKEN PROMISE
(Mr. GOSAR asked and was given permission to address the House for 1
minute.)
Mr. GOSAR. Madam Speaker, I rise today to shed light on the
President's broken health care promise. The President promised over and
over again that Americans who like their health care plans could keep
them, but that is just not true.
Here is what Wendy from my district wrote me:
My BlueCross BlueShield policy will be canceled due to
ObamaCare starting March 1, 2014. I checked out other policy
options under ObamaCare and the least expensive qualifying
plan was an additional $208.44 per month. This is with a
higher deductible, larger out-of-pocket expense, and only
three doctor visits per year per person. This is outrageous.
Additionally, this rate only includes me and my three
children, not even my husband. I guess we can't even keep a
family together under ObamaCare.
As Wendy's story exemplifies, and as we predicted since 2010,
ObamaCare is fundamentally flawed in concept and execution. Dictated
government health care cannot beat free-market choices. And as a health
care professional, I will continue to do all that I can to protect the
American people from ObamaCare.
