Press Releases

On November 14, 2013, President Obama announced another administrative “fix” to Obamacare, which gives insurers the option to offer current enrollees renewals in plans that are not compliant with Affordable Care Act provisions, which would otherwise be cancelled.  Today, the House passed the Keep Your Health Plan Act (H.R. 3350), which allows Americans to enroll in health insurance plans currently available on the individual market next year without penalty.  After passage, Congressman Steve Womack (AR-3), a cosponsor of H.R. 3350, released the following statement:

“From skyrocketing premiums to canceled coverage, Obamacare is continuing to make life harder for Americans.  Unfortunately, the President’s latest in his long list of fixes does not change that and instead, simply passes the buck.  Americans don’t need false promises or smoke and mirror fixes; they need relief from Obamacare and an unambiguous guarantee that the plan they have and like will still be available.  It’s time the President takes responsibility for both.”
