                            JUST KEEP TRYING

  (Mr. DANNY K. DAVIS of Illinois asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. DANNY K. DAVIS of Illinois. Mr. Speaker, Kathy Kanak can be 
persistent. Late last Wednesday, the 57-year-old of Libertyville became 
one of the first known enrollees of health insurance at the glitch-
stricken online marketplace operated by the Federal Government for 36 
States, including Illinois. ``I just kept trying,'' she said. ``Tell 
people to just keep trying, and they will get in eventually.''
  With Federal tax credits, the Kanaks will pay about $260 a month in 
premiums less than what they paid before. They will be able to retain 
their family doctor and their dentist, and their annual deductible will 
drop to $1,500 from $5,000.
  Just keep trying.
