         SUPPORTING THE KEEP YOUR HEALTH CARE PLAN ACT OF 2013

  (Mr. MARCHANT asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. MARCHANT. Mr. Speaker, despite the President's promise that 
Americans could keep their health care plans, thousands of my 
constituents have learned that their health care plans will soon be 
terminated.
  I recently received a letter from David Hager, the CFO of a 
technology company headquartered in my district. He was informed that 
the health care plan offered by his company is being canceled. This is 
a well-liked plan that pays 100 percent of employees' monthly health 
care premiums, but that is not good enough for ObamaCare. This company 
will now be forced to pay 19 percent more for its health care next 
year, and its employees will have to shell out more money for a new 
plan that they don't like. This is in addition to the newly created 
``reinsurance fee'' of $510 a month for the company to pay that has no 
value at all to the workers. Mr. Hager wants to know why his employees 
are having their excellent health care plans canceled by ObamaCare.
  We must allow Americans to keep the health care plans they like, not 
just for 1 year--as has been proposed by the President--but 
permanently.
