                         THE FACES OF OBAMACARE

  (Mrs. WAGNER asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Mrs. WAGNER. Mr. Speaker, in recent weeks I have received countless 
examples of heartbreaking stories from the people of Missouri's Second 
Congressional District about how government-run health care is 
impacting their lives.
  Today, I rise to put a face on the failures of ObamaCare and to tell 
Pam and Dennis Hopmann's story, who hail from Chesterfield, Missouri. 
This is their story in their own words:

       We are livid that President Obama broke his promise to us 
     about keeping our doctors. The Federal Government has very 
     few success stories at running programs, and this is a prime 
     example. Not only am I going to lose my insurance, but I also 
     received a letter that I would lose care from my OB/GYN 
     doctor, whom I have seen for 30 years. I wanted to stay with 
     my plan. There was nothing wrong with it. It was not a 
     ``junk'' plan, which Obama so frequently likes to call them.

  Mr. Speaker, this is just one of millions of examples of real people 
being hurt by ObamaCare.
