This legislation allows the American people to escape the expensive premium increases and policy cancellations under Obamacare by allowing current available plans on the individual market today to be offered next year.\u00a0 It also ensures that American families will be able to keep their current plans without penalty.\nCongressman Joe Wilson said, \u201cPresident Obama has broken his promise to millions of Americans who have been notified that their healthcare policies will no longer be available next year. Millions more will face this same challenge in the coming months.\u00a0\u00a0\n\u201cYesterday, the President made another unrealistic promise when he offered to provide a quick fix and allow families to keep their existing plans. At the same time, he also issued a veto threat for this overwhelmingly bipartisan legislation that allows him to legislatively follow through with his pledge.\u00a0\n\u201cCommon sense conveys that the President is putting politics over policy when it comes to implementing his signature piece of healthcare legislation.\u00a0\u00a0 His Administration is completely out of touch with the struggles American families are experiencing as a result of his destruction and intrusion into our healthcare system.\u00a0\n\u201cThe failed rollout of Obamacare is just the tip of the iceberg.\u00a0 This unworkable law will erode the doctor-patient relationship, continue to increase premiums, and destroy jobs.\u00a0 The only way American families can experience true relief from this law is if the President works with House Republicans to repeal and replace it with common sense solutions.\u201d\u00a0\n*Congressman Wilson delivered a speech on the House floor yesterday sharing real-life scenarios constituents are experience as a result of Obamacare\u2019s implementation.\u00a0 Please feel free to share the video and speech.\n*Additionally, if constituents would like to share their stories of dealing with Obamacare, they can visit www.gop.gov/YourStory.\n*Rep. Tom Price (GA-06) has proposed H.R. 2300, the Empowering Patients First Act, which is a patient-centered alternative to Obamacare. Congressman Wilson is a cosponsor of this piece of legislation.
