                    PRESIDENT OBAMA'S BROKEN PROMISE

  (Mr. GOSAR asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. GOSAR. Madam Speaker, I rise today to shed light on the 
President's broken health care promise. The President promised over and 
over again that Americans who like their health care plans could keep 
them, but that is just not true.
  Here is what Wendy from my district wrote me:

       My BlueCross BlueShield policy will be canceled due to 
     ObamaCare starting March 1, 2014. I checked out other policy 
     options under ObamaCare and the least expensive qualifying 
     plan was an additional $208.44 per month. This is with a 
     higher deductible, larger out-of-pocket expense, and only 
     three doctor visits per year per person. This is outrageous. 
     Additionally, this rate only includes me and my three 
     children, not even my husband. I guess we can't even keep a 
     family together under ObamaCare.

  As Wendy's story exemplifies, and as we predicted since 2010, 
ObamaCare is fundamentally flawed in concept and execution. Dictated 
government health care cannot beat free-market choices. And as a health 
care professional, I will continue to do all that I can to protect the 
American people from ObamaCare.
