OBAMACARE
(Mr. LONG asked and was given permission to address the House for 1
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
Mr. LONG. Mr. Speaker, a constituent emailed my office this morning,
and then she followed up with a call. She is fed up with ObamaCare.
She is battling cancer, which requires travel to a neighboring State.
She told me her health insurance had been canceled due to the
President's health care law. She was able to find a new plan, but will
no longer be able to see her cancer doctor in Little Rock. She said:
My doctor and I are very concerned about the future
treatment if I have to change docs. How many other Americans
can no longer go to the treatment centers they need for
lifesaving care? This is absurd. I have decided to continue
my lifesaving treatments in Little Rock but will likely go
bankrupt in the process. Just a little more stress the Obama
plan has placed on thousands of Americans undergoing
lifesaving treatment. I am angry not only for myself, but for
everyone else who is going through this.
Mr. Speaker, we need to honor the promise President Obama made to the
millions of Americans who like their plans but are now receiving
cancelation notices.
