                       KEEP YOUR HEALTH PLAN ACT

  (Mrs. CAPITO asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Mrs. CAPITO. Mr. Speaker, President Obama promised the American 
people that if they like their current health care plan, they would be 
able to keep it. That promise is meaningless to the 4.8 million and 
counting Americans who have already been notified that they will lose 
their current health care plan because of ObamaCare.
  Stacy Johnson Lindsey of Scott Depot, West Virginia, is one of those 
4.8 million forced to choose a more expensive and new health insurance 
plan. Stacy writes:

       I have no desire to have government-funded health care and 
     refuse to be pushed into utilizing the marketplace. Will you 
     please help us? I am worried what the future holds.

  Barbara Zeiger of Lehew, West Virginia, will be forced out of her 
current insurance plan that has only a $250 deductible. When Barbara 
asked her insurer, she was told that her plan no longer would be 
offered because it does not include maternity and pediatric coverage. 
Barbara is 61 years old and widowed.
  The Keep Your Health Plan Act will save Americans like Stacy and 
Barbara from the broken promises of ObamaCare and allow their current 
health care plans to be offered for another year.
  I urge my colleagues to join me in voting for this bill to keep the 
promise the President made to the American people.
