                        OBAMACARE CANCELLATIONS

  (Mr. HOLDING asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. HOLDING. Mr. Speaker, I rise to share a story from a constituent 
of mine in Cary, North Carolina, about the real impact that ObamaCare 
has had on him and his family.
  He is an independent businessman, diagnosed with leukemia, and he 
wrote that his income has fluctuated in recent years because the 
disease limits his work capacity. Medical costs have skyrocketed for 
his chemotherapy and other treatment but have been well covered by his 
current provider.
  Mr. Speaker, after about 10 years of care under the same health care 
plan, he received a notice that his current policy covering his family 
of four is being terminated. The ObamaCare-compliant approved 
replacement plan will increase their premium by about 77 percent, or 
$9,000 per year. This is a serious financial challenge for them, and 
they may have to sell their home.
  Mr. Speaker, after everything this man has already been through, he 
now has to deal with the frustration and uncertainty of this 
administration's back-and-forth policy. This is not what he and the 
American people were promised by the President, and it is simply 
unacceptable.
