                               OBAMACARE

  (Mr. PITTENGER asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. PITTENGER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today on behalf of Martha Staley, 
a constituent from Cornelius, North Carolina. Ms. Staley is a retired 
registered nurse and a retired insurance agent. She understands health 
insurance better than most.
  Recently, she received this letter, explaining that her current 
insurance was canceled due to ObamaCare and that her new plan would be 
twice as expensive. Quoting Ms. Staley:

       There was nothing in the world wrong with my plan. What 
     they are giving me is worse. I was told by the President 
     that, if I liked my health care plan--which I do--I could 
     keep it. I was told by the President that the ACA would help 
     lower my costs.

  President Obama made a simple direct promise to Ms. Staley. Tomorrow, 
I urge you to join me in voting for H.R. 3350, the Keep Your Health 
Plan Act. The American people don't need more apologies from the 
President. They need results.
