                               OBAMACARE

  (Ms. JENKINS asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. JENKINS. Mr. Speaker, across Kansas, folks are struggling from 
the effects of ObamaCare. This cancelation letter is from Greg and 
Linda in Osage City, who wrote to tell me their son was losing his 
health care plan.
  Linda spent hours each night for weeks trying to sign up for a new 
plan on the Web site. She tried the online chat. She tried calling the 
number, and no one could answer her questions.
  They were forced to add their son to Greg's more expensive employer 
plan, and now their son's health insurance bill is going up 50 percent 
each month.
  After years of knowing about these problems, today the President 
tried to make good on his promise: if you like your plan, you can keep 
it. But for Greg and Linda, it is likely too late. The deadline to 
switch to Greg's employer plan just passed. They had no good options.
  We must continue to work for hardworking American families who are 
paying the price for this unworkable law.
