No one will take it away, no matter what.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0Contrary to President Obama's promise, millions of Americans are being forced off their health care plans by the President's socialized medicine policies, thus puttingfamily finances, health care, and lives at risk.\n\n\tCongressman Brooks said, \"President Obama promised Americans that \u2018Yes We Can\u2019 keep our health insurance when, in fact, the President meant \u2018No We Can't.\u2019\u00a0 It'sbeen one month since the Affordable Care Act opened for enrollment, and, contrary to the President's false promise, millions of Americans' health plans have been cancelled, thusputting hard-working American family finances, health care, and lives at risk. \u00a0I cosponsored the Keep Your Health Plan Act to guarantee that\u00a0those enrolled in a health plan as of January 1, 2013, may remain enrolled on that plan regardless of Obamacare mandates.\u00a0 Hopefully, President Obama will stop blocking health insurance providers from providing affordable health care and insurance that has served so many Americans so well for so long.\u00a0 It is time for Big Brother to step aside and let Americans have the freedom to\u00a0control their own fate.\"\n\n\tBrooks continued, \"It's frustrating that President Obama, for three years and despite knowing millions would be dropped from their existing healthcare plans, continued to adamantly and knowingly\u00a0repeat false promises of continued coverage. With the disastrous rollout of the health insurance exchanges, we've seen many additional technical and fundamental flaws with the system. Until these flaws can be addressed, at a minimum, the American people deserve to keep their coverage as promised.\"\n\n\tBrooks added, \"With respect to health insurance policies that have been cancelled because of the President\u2019s healthcare law, I urge President Obama to change his mantra from \u2018No We Can't\u2019, to \u2018Yes We Can' keep our health care and health insurance.\u00a0 The Keep Your Health Plan Act does exactly that.\u00a0 Congress should, and must, force the President to keep his promises.\u00a0 Quite frankly, hardworking Americans deserve no less.\"\n\n\tClick\u00a0here\u00a0to read a copy of H.R. 3350, the\u00a0Keep Your Health Plan Act.\n\n\t###", 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/20140923133607/http://brooks.house.gov/index.cfm?sectionid=25&itemid=1073"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.4996170066297054, "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"}
