                     OBAMACARE POLICY CANCELLATIONS

  (Mr. CRAWFORD asked and was given permission to address the House for

  Mr. CRAWFORD. Mr. Speaker, the Mershon family of Gassville, Arkansas, 
is yet another tragic example of the terrible toll the ObamaCare law is

       We regret to inform you that we have lost our health care

     Cadillac-style insurance, but it was all we needed. So we go

     how we felt. This is an absolute outrage. We counted on what 
     was assured to us, promised to us--that our insurance would 
     stay intact, period. Our shoestring budget has now turned to 
     floss. Seriously, it is beans and cornbread time.

  Mr. Speaker, a politically motivated administrative fix does nothing 
to solve the underlying issues with this disastrous law. Sadly, it 
looks like it may be beans and cornbread time for millions of families 
across our country. Is this really the affordable care we were 
promised?
