The President knows it; Congress knows it; and most importantly, the American people now know it. The President claims to be working with Congress to stop the train wreck the ACA is waging on American families. Actions speak louder than words. It\u2019s time for him to engage with House Republicans to find a solution.\n\u201cWe must help Mary in Lexington, South Carolina, whose healthcare policy premium has already increased 275 percent since the beginning of this year. And Rebecca from Aiken, who will be forced to pay $600 more a month for the same coverage in January. And Alvin, an uninsured Veteran also living in Aiken, who has tried to purchase insurance on the government healthcare website, but can\u2019t afford it because the premium will be higher than his mortgage, utilities, and Internet combined.\n\u201cThis is absurd.\u00a0 For the sake of the middle class, we must replace Obamacare with common sense solutions that protects families, provides a safety net, and promotes jobs.\u00a0\n\u201cIn conclusion, God bless our troops and we will never forget September 11th in the Global War on Terrorism,\u201d Congressman Joe Wilson said.\nTomorrow, the House will vote on H.R. 3350, the Keep Your Health Plan Act. This legislation allows the American people to escape the expensive premium increases and policy cancellations under Obamacare by allowing 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.\n*In addition, if constituents would like to share their stories of dealing with Obamacare, they can visit www.gop.gov/YourStory.\n*Video of the Congressman\u2019s floor speech can be found here.", 1, "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z", "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://web.archive.org/web/20140221055240/http://joewilson.house.gov/news/documentsingle.aspx?DocumentID=361631"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.8169789798557758, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
