                    MR. PRESIDENT, KEEP YOUR PROMISE

  (Mr. WALBERG asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. WALBERG. Mr. Speaker, ``If you like your health plan, you can 
keep it'' was President Obama's promise to the people since 2009, but 
just last week, he attempted to apologize to those losing health 
insurance because of the law. While I am glad the President is starting 
to see the truth, the people need more than just apologies for broken 
promises.
  In my Michigan district, a 29-year-old woman named Rosann has been 
battling sarcoma cancer for over a year. Because of her disease and 
treatments, she can't work full time, but through part-time work she 
has managed to pay all her own bills--that is, until she received a 
notice that she will lose her current health care coverage because of 
ObamaCare and have to pay $225 more a month for a government-approved 
plan.
  Rosann doesn't need an apology. She just wants to keep her insurance, 
along with nearly 5 million other Americans who have lost their 
coverage in the last 6 weeks alone.
  House Republicans remain committed to fighting for Americans and 
providing fairness for all. The President needs to join our efforts, 
Mr. Speaker, and keep his promise to the American people.
