                             FALSE PROMISES

  (Mr. HARRIS asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. HARRIS. Mr. Speaker, another day goes by, and the ObamaCare train 
wreck continues.
  In 2009, President Obama promised, If you like your health care plan, 
you can keep it. It still promises that on the White House Web site and 
on the healthcare.gov Web site if and when you can get on that Web 
site.
  Mr. Speaker, when are these false promises going to end? What do I 
say

to Gail in Maryland who wrote me this?

       I have been informed by Blue Cross & Blue Shield of 
     Maryland that I cannot keep my current coverage and will have 
     to choose a new policy. . . . I have to change my coverage 
     and pay 53 percent more in premiums for coverage that is not 
     as good. My husband and I . . . will now have to pay at least 
     $330 more per month for less coverage.

  Gail and her family will lose the plan they like and will have to pay 
almost $4,000 more per year for a plan that delivers less.
  Mr. Speaker, American families deserve better than false promises.
