Brooks (R-IN5) released the following statement after voting in favor of House Resolution 3350 \u2013 the Keep Your Health Plan Act \u2013 which allows health insurance plans currently offered through the individual marketplace to be offered through 2014:\n\u201cMore than 3.5 million Americans on the individual marketplace have seen their healthcare plans cancelled because of Obamacare. By giving insurance companies the flexibility to renew cancelled plans for one more year, the Keep Your Health Plan Act will help some of these individuals regain the coverage they want and need. However, the ultimate truth is simple: because of Obamacare these people will eventually lose their plans. This is simply not acceptable.\nPresident Obama made a tremendous error when he told the American people they could keep their health insurance if they liked it. This statement is clearly a broken promise and he has since apologized. But apologies aren\u2019t enough when people\u2019s access to quality and affordable healthcare is hanging in the balance. Apologies aren\u2019t enough when people are forced to spend hours trying to replace cancelled insurance on a web site that is woefully inadequate. This is no time for pride, it\u2019s time for action. It\u2019s time to start over and work on sensible reforms that increase access to quality and affordable care.\n5th District Hoosiers continue to reach out to me at public forums, on the phone, through the mail and via social media to share their frustrations with Obamacare. This is the number one issue they talk to me about because too many of them have lost coverage, lost work hours or been otherwise victimized by the careless implementation of this law. They deserve better, and I will continue to make sure their voices are heard.\u201d\nIt\u2019s estimated that the policies of over 100,000 Hoosiers on the individual marketplace are at risk because of Obamacare. Concerned Hoosiers can share their Obamacare stories with Congresswoman Brooks by visiting\u00a0https://susanwbrooks.house.gov/contact/share-your-story-zipauth.\u00a0\nH.R. 3350 was passed the House or Representatives this afternoon.
