                               OBAMACARE

  (Mrs. WALORSKI asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute.)
  Mrs. WALORSKI. Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to cosponsor the Keep Your 
Health Plan Act to make sure individuals can keep the health care plans 
they like and need.
  I have asked Hoosiers in the State of Indiana to share their stories 
with me about their experiences with ObamaCare. The stories are 
shocking.
  Kathryn from South Bend got this letter from her insurance company 
stating that her plan will be canceled. Her monthly payments will 
increase from $186 per month to $329 per month--nearly double.
  Kathy from Elkhart is a cancer patient undergoing chemotherapy. Under 
ObamaCare, she now has to pay over $1,200 a month just for her own 
coverage.
  Barton, a small business owner, said his group premiums will increase 
up to 80 percent this year.
  These are serious problems causing incredible hardships for the very 
people we represent.
  It is time to work on commonsense reforms that will lower health care 
costs and improve the quality of care for our constituents.
  If we work together, we can get it done.
