Bilirakis Co-Sponsors Legislation to Ensure Americans Can Keep Current Health Plans Under Obamacare

Press Release

Congressman Gus M. Bilirakis (R-FL), member of the House Energy and Commerce Committee's Health Subcommittee, has become an original co-sponsor of H.R. 3350, The Keep Your Health Plan Act, legislation sponsored by Energy and Commerce Committee Chairman Fred Upton (R-MI) in an effort to protect the many Americans whose health plans are being cancelled due to Obamacare.

"While the President repeatedly promised the American people they would be able to keep their current health care plans under Obamacare, millions of people across the country are unfortunately realizing this is not the case," said Bilirakis. "Now, my constituents are paying the price for the Administration's inability to uphold its promises. The Keep Your Health Plan Act will provide the peace of mind they deserve by providing these hardworking Americans the option to keep their current coverage if they so choose."

The legislation would allow health care plans available today on the individual market to continue to be offered under Obamacare. The bill also ensures that Americans maintaining their health care plan would not face a penalty under Obamacare.
