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.
