OBAMACARE
(Mr. LATTA asked and was given permission to address the House for 1
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
Mr. LATTA. Mr. Speaker, I rise to express my strong support for the
Keep Your Health Plan Act. I have heard from many folks across my
district that they are losing the health care they have and like
because of ObamaCare.
Jeff from Columbus Grove wrote to alert me of the cancelation notice
he received indicating his insurance policy is being dropped as of
December 1 of this year. He has less than 1 month to find a new plan,
which will cost more, have fewer benefits, and have higher deductibles.
In addition, his choices for new health care insurance limit his
options for the hospital and local doctor he can choose.
Dwight from Arlington wrote that he and his wife received a notice
that due to the ACA, his wife's insurance policy would no longer be
available. Coverage would double from $189 per month to $394, with
increased deductibles.
Finally, I have heard from a local township trustee that the township
has received notice that their health insurance plan has been canceled
because of the ACA.
These are just several examples of the hundreds of stories we are
hearing from across my district and the State of Ohio. I remain
committed to enacting quality and affordable health care legislation
and continuing to work toward ObamaCare's full repeal.
