This week CongressmanMo Brooks (R-AL), announced his co-sponsorship of H.R. 3350, the Keep Your Health Plan Act, which is scheduledfor a House Floor vote within the next two weeks. President Obama promised America that, "If you like your health care plan, you'll be able to keep your health care plan, period. No one will take it away, no matter what.Contrary 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. Congressman Brooks said, "President Obama promised Americans that Yes We Can' keep our health insurance when, in fact, the President meant No We Can't.' 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. I cosponsored the Keep Your Health Plan Act to guarantee thatthose enrolled in a health plan as of January 1, 2013, may remain enrolled on that plan regardless of Obamacare mandates. 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. It is time for Big Brother to step aside and let Americans have the freedom tocontrol their own fate." Brooks 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 knowinglyrepeat 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." Brooks added, "With respect to health insurance policies that have been cancelled because of the President's healthcare law, I urge President Obama to change his mantra from No We Can't', to Yes We Can' keep our health care and health insurance. The Keep Your Health Plan Act does exactly that. Congress should, and must, force the President to keep his promises. Quite frankly, hardworking Americans deserve no less."
