                   PASS THE KEEP YOUR HEALTH PLAN ACT

  (Ms. FOXX asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Ms. FOXX. Mr. Speaker, Midge, one of the women I represent from 
Alexander County, wrote me to say:

       I am one of the many . . . policy holders whose policy was 
     canceled due to ObamaCare mandates.
       My policy was great, affordable, and I liked it. The most 
     similar policy Blue Cross can put me on has higher 
     deductibles, higher coinsurance, and coverage that I don't 
     need.

  For this new coverage, Midge and her husband are going to have to pay 
81 percent more. Midge closed off her letter to me with this simple 
request:

       Please do all you can to help us be able to keep the plan 
     we like as we were promised by our President.

  Letters like Midge's are pouring in from across the country to 
Democrats and Republicans alike. That is because promises aren't 
partisan issues, and promises matter to the American people.
  Let's require the President to keep this central ObamaCare promise by 
passing the Keep Your Health Plan Act.
