                               OBAMACARE

  (Mr. NEUGEBAUER asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. NEUGEBAUER. Mr. Speaker, I would like to read to you a letter 
from a woman named Katherine from Levelland. Katherine's daughter, 
Taylor, has an aggressive form of childhood cancer, which requires 
treatments in Lubbock and Houston.
  Katherine writes:

       Along with the expense of her medical treatments, we have 
     the expense of keeping an apartment in Houston and traveling 
     back and forth. My husband owns a small car dealership in 
     Levelland, and we have a private insurance policy. We have 
     had this policy for over 4 years, and we were devastated to 
     find out that Taylor's policy is now being canceled.

  President Obama said, If you're one of the 250 million Americans who 
already has health insurance, you will get to keep your own health 
insurance.
  Unfortunately, we have not been given the choice to keep Taylor's 
health insurance. I wanted you to know our story so that when you are 
in Washington you can share it with others.
  I wish that Katherine and Taylor's story were unique; but, 
unfortunately, I receive dozens of emails from constituents who tell me 
about lost coverage, lower benefits, and higher premiums. They are 
looking for us to make it right.
  I will do everything in my power to fix this so as to ensure that 
mothers like Katherine don't have to worry about losing critical 
coverage for their families.
