                           A STORY FROM OHIO

  (Mr. JOHNSON of Ohio asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. JOHNSON of Ohio. Mr. Speaker, I rise today on behalf of the 
hardworking people of eastern and southeastern Ohio to share their 
stories since they began experiencing President Obama's health care 
law.
  I have heard from many of those I represent who have seen an increase 
in their health care premiums, lost their doctors, and were forced out 
of the plans that they liked, even after they were told by President 
Obama that if they liked their health plan they could keep it.
  Alice of Dennison, Ohio, contacted my office and let me know that her 
insurance premium went from $235 to $520 a month, more than doubling. 
Alice told me that she goes to bed at night wondering how she will pay 
for the increased premiums. But Alice isn't alone. Her story is just 
one of the many stories from Ohio I have received.
  We must continue to fight this misguided law and work to return 
control and choice of health care to the American people. Hardworking 
Americans deserve better than ObamaCare.
