Congressman Mike Rogers announced his support today for H.R. 3350, the Keep your Health Plan Act of 2013, a bill that would allow health care plans on the individual market to remain available so people across East Alabama could have the option to keep their current health care plans.

Under the Affordable Care Act, many insurance providers are offering different plans to comply with the new guidelines and cancelling current plans consumers are currently enrolled in. 

“Time and time again, President Obama promised folks across the country they could keep their health care plans under the Affordable Care Act. However, I have heard from numerous folks in East Alabama who are being forced into new plans with higher premiums after being told their old plans don’t meet the new requirements of the law.

“The Keep Your Health Plan Act, if passed, could help remedy this problem, and I hope the House will debate it quickly,” Rogers said.

In his bi-weekly op-ed this week, Rogers noted responses he received from many constituents about their rising health care premiums under Obamacare.

Rogers serves as Chairman of the Strategic Forces subcommittee on the Armed Services Committee and is a senior member of the Homeland Security and Agriculture committees.
