Bureaucrats, Not Patients, are the Focus

Floor Speech

Ms. FOXX. Mr. Speaker, people want to be able to trust their President.

When he said: If you like your plan, you can keep your plan, many Americans believed him. But keeping the insurance you liked was never a real possibility under ObamaCare.

By design, the law requires every single new health plan and any existing plan that has been altered over the past 3 years to satisfy the one-size-fits-all requirements of Washington's central planners. That means millions of Americans are losing their current coverage, even though many liked their plans--plans that were tailored to work for them--that meet their specific needs and fit into their family budgets.

Unsurprisingly, though, when placating bureaucrats is the rule, patients certainly can't be the focus.

The President did say: If you like your plan, you can keep your plan, but he simultaneously championed a law that replaced custom care with cookie-cutter care.

Millions are being booted from their health plans as a result.
