                               OBAMACARE

  (Mr. ROSKAM asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. ROSKAM. Mr. Speaker, my constituents are asking a simple 
question,

[[Page H7095]]

and the question they are asking the White House is: Can you hear us 
now, and do you understand this frustration that we feel?
  I have got a constituent, Mr. Speaker, Diane, who got this letter 
from her insurance, Medicare, with these couple of sentences:

       Effective January 1, all plans must be compliant with the 
     new health care law; therefore, the insurance company plan 
     you have now will no longer be available after December 31.

  What happened to Diane? A plan that she liked, a plan that she was 
satisfied with as an 11-year cancer survivor, a plan that she could 
afford now was taken away based on ObamaCare, and she was ``migrated'' 
into ObamaCare, and her premium was nearly doubling.
  What does Diane have to say about President Obama's offer to fix 
this? She said this:

       I want to see legislation passed to fix this problem, 
     legislation I can trust. I don't want an administrative 
     trust. I don't trust that to anyone.

  We need to fix this. We need to pass this legislation.
