Period.\u2019 Well, as millions of Americans are unfortunately finding out, that just isn\u2019t the case,\u201d said Enzi. \u201cHenry Ford said that customers could have his Model T in any color they wanted so long it is black.\u00a0Sounds similar to what the president has promised with health care.\u00a0If you like your current plan you can keep it, as long as it\u2019s a model we choose. I offered a proposal three years ago to give people the honest choice to keep their plans, but every one of the majority party in the Senate voted against it.\u00a0\r\n\u201cThese insurance cancellation notices are a wakeup call to the American public, even ones who initially supported the law. It\u2019s hurting the economy and it\u2019s actually making health insurance less affordable. The one-size-fits-all approach that this Administration likes to push is hurting our country and we need more people in Congress that understand this. My hope is that even my Democrat colleagues are seeing the light. If not, I hope their constituents hold their feet to the fire and keep them accountable,\u201d said Enzi.\r\nWhen Sebelius did not directly address the president\u2019s broken promise, Enzi added, \u201cI\u2019m not worried about the insurers. I\u2019m worried about the individuals who lost their policies that they like. Not only are they losing their policies, they are losing the doctors they like to go to and in some cases the hospitals too.\u201d\r\nEnzi is currently working on a bill with Senator Ron Johnson and 36 others to allow Americans to keep health care plans they liked before Obamacare forced cancelations.\r\nClick here to watch video of the Nov. 6 Finance Committee hearing comments to Sebelius.\r\nClick here to download video of the Nov. 6 Finance Committee hearing comments to Sebelius.\r\nRelated video:\u00a0Nov. 5 FOX News interview with Megyn Kelly.\r\nRelated video: 2010 Senate floor Enzi fix that would have prevented millions from losing health insurance.", 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://www.enzi.senate.gov/public/index.cfm/news-releases?ContentRecord_id=4b686053-58cb-4e3a-ab87-9217598994e7"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.0724770836532116, "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"}
