                               OBAMACARE

  (Mr. FLEISCHMANN asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute.)
  Mr. FLEISCHMANN. Mr. Speaker, I rise in support of the 3.5 million 
people who have, to date, lost their health care coverage thanks to 
ObamaCare and in support of the reported 10 million Americans who could 
lose their coverage between now and the end of the year.
  Mr. Speaker, President Obama promised again and again that Americans 
who liked their health care plans would be able to keep them. Well, we 
know now that is simply not the case.
  In my hometown of Ooltewah, Tennessee, Lynn Davis, who moved to 
Tennessee to care for her elderly parents, had health care coverage she 
liked and could afford. Now her plan is going away, and she is likely 
to be paying as much as $300 more per month. That is an additional 
$3,600 per year for something she doesn't want and doesn't need.
  Mr. Speaker, this isn't right. Our economy is struggling enough as it 
is. The last thing the American people need is an additional financial 
burden thrust on them by the Federal Government. ObamaCare needs to go. 
But at the very least, the President needs to accept the Keep Your 
Health Plan Act and uphold his promise to the American people.
