                               OBAMACARE

  (Mr. LONG asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. LONG. Mr. Speaker, a constituent emailed my office this morning, 
and then she followed up with a call. She is fed up with ObamaCare.
  She is battling cancer, which requires travel to a neighboring State. 
She told me her health insurance had been canceled due to the 
President's health care law. She was able to find a new plan, but will 
no longer be able to see her cancer doctor in Little Rock. She said:

       My doctor and I are very concerned about the future 
     treatment if I have to change docs. How many other Americans 
     can no longer go to the treatment centers they need for 
     lifesaving care? This is absurd. I have decided to continue 
     my lifesaving treatments in Little Rock but will likely go 
     bankrupt in the process. Just a little more stress the Obama 
     plan has placed on thousands of Americans undergoing 
     lifesaving treatment. I am angry not only for myself, but for 
     everyone else who is going through this.

  Mr. Speaker, we need to honor the promise President Obama made to the 
millions of Americans who like their plans but are now receiving 
cancellation notices.
