                OBAMACARE MUST BE REPEALED AND REPLACED

  (Mr. OLSON asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. OLSON. Mr. Speaker, this week I read a story in the Houston 
Chronicle about Martha Gardenier. Martha is 59. She is a CPA. Two years 
ago, her bone marrow disease became leukemia. Her doctor said she 
should start end-of-life care.
  The best cancer center in our world, M.D. Anderson, put her into an 
experimental trial. Her cancer regressed to grade 1. Her drug cocktail 
costs $10,000 per month. In September, she was told that her insurance 
plan was dropping her because of ObamaCare.
  President Obama told every American that ``if you like your 
healthcare plan, you can keep it.'' Martha liked her healthcare plan, 
and she may die because she can't keep it, another example of why 
ObamaCare must be repealed and replaced without broken promises and 
putting patients likes Martha first.
