[Congressional Record Volume 159, Number 162 (Thursday, November 14, 2013)] [House] [Page H7089] From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [www.gpo.gov] OBAMACARE (Mr. SMITH of Nebraska asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 minute.) Mr. SMITH of Nebraska. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to highlight the impact of the current health care situation of the millions of Americans who are losing their health care coverage, including many in Nebraska's Third District. Pam Weldin, a self-employed small business woman from Minatare, Nebraska, has a preexisting condition. She has had affordable health insurance coverage which meets her needs, but she just received this letter which explains her current plan will no longer be offered. Pam told me she had great coverage before, which obviously included coverage of her preexisting condition. She has since tried to see what is available through healthcare.gov and the 800 number as well, but has been unsuccessful. As of January 1, she will lose the coverage that she likes. Like Pam, millions of Americans are learning they are losing their health care plans they were told they could keep. I have heard from many other Nebraskans who are losing their insurance or whose rates have increased so much they cannot afford to keep the plans they currently have. This is not what the American people want, and both sides need to work together to make this right. I encourage all of my colleagues to support the Keep Your Health Plan Act. ____________________
