Jim Martin, “GOP plans will not only save Americans’ healthcare, but also help save the environment from the millions of cancellation notices being printed.”

(Alexandria, Virginia) — The historic lie of President Obama promising Americans that “if you like your healthcare, you can keep your healthcare… no matter what” under Obamacare is being addressed by Congress with the introduction this week of Congressman Fred Upton’s (R-MI)  Keep Your Health Plan Act, in the House, and Senator Ron Johnson’s (R-WI) If you like your healthcare plan, you can keep it Act in the Senate.  These companion bills seek to stem the widespread cancellation of health plans by allowing them to be continued through next year.

This legislation brought a strong endorsement from 60 Plus Chairman Jim Martin, leader of the nation’s largest conservative seniors organization with over 7.2 million senior supporters, and the acknowledged alternative to the liberal AARP.

“The rollout of Obamacare has been, as many predicted, an absolute nightmare for millions as they learn they are being tossed off their plans and being forced to pay through the nose for plans they do not want.  The two Keep Your Health Plan Acts will go a long way toward waking Americans from this nightmare, and giving them peace of mind by preserving the coverage and health care services they rely on.

“It’s time the President acknowledge that Obamacare is a failure and will never work, that the only way FOR it to work as designed requires most Americans to lose their coverage and spend a lot more to get a lot less.

“Obamacare, the signature mark of his entire Presidency, was sold to the American people on a pile of lies. In every measurable way Obama has taken the need for healthcare reform and turned it into a major healthcare crisis.  The decision for Obama and the Democrats is simple — either support complete and total repeal of Obamacare, or face the consequences this coming November so a new wave of leaders can repeal it for you.

“Congressman Upton and Senator Johnson are owed a debt of gratitude from millions for the introduction of this crucial legislation, and for continuing to fight on behalf of all the Americans Obamacare has abandoned.”
