House Republican leaders announced Wednesday the lower chamber will vote next week on a bill that would allow people to keep their health insurance plan if they like it.
The vote hits at President Obama, who, during the debate over the Affordable Care Act, said people could keep their healthcare plans if they like them. Several people, however, have gotten cancelation notices because of ObamaCare's new standards.
Late Wednesday afternoon, House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-Va.) announced via Twitter that the bill would get a vote.

People like Cruz are warriors vs. the get along crowd that has allowed the debt to become 17 trillion.
End the RNC and start fresh.
Too little and too late

“Several people, however, have gotten cancelation notices because of ObamaCare’s new standards.”
(Merriam-Webster online dictionary)
sev·er·al (adjective)
“more than two but not very many.”
This “Keep your health plan” crap is nothing but a smoke and mirrors act to pacify the sheep and buy time. Don’t fall for it.
Let the country have 0care full and unabridged, and then we'll see how eager they are to elect another democrat in 2016.
Several people? Really?
Really dumb. Really, really dumb. How can you keep your policy if the HC company no longer offers it? If it’s illegal for them to offer it?
Agreed.
However, I actually think Reid and 0bama missed a golden opportunity by turning down the GOP proposed one year delay.
Now they have to answer questions about all the incompetency and disastrous effects of the law clear until the elections.
And votes like this will just continue to put the dems on the defensive.
Delaying the pain until after the midterms would likely have led to bad election results for us and therefore perpetual and endless pain from this disastrous law.
Now the dems own it and can’t escape the consequences. The GOP-E handed them a couple of life lines (which I nervously hoped they wouldn’t take because of their own pride and stupidity).
Reid has given the GOP a sledgehammer to swing away with until the law is shattered into a billion pieces IMO.
That said, if I were Speaker there wouldn’t be Capitol police or secret service funding until the law is repealed.
I wouldn’t be playing around with fake “shut downs”.
Closing the corral gate after the horses escaped.
This is dumb... passing a law to make it illegal for a HC to NOT offer a plan, all the while there is a law on the books making it illegal to offer the same plan. Just shows the GOP-E does not get it at all... we don’t want more govt laws on HC, we want the market, free and clear, between consumers and insurance companies, in any state and across state lines, to determine what is offered in insurance.
Oooooh! They tweaked Obama! Let me rush right out and send them some money!
A bold move would be to have the GOP in the house leave DC until the president agrees to postpone the rest of 0-care and look at the budget.
It’s mostly symbolic but It gets the point across and reinforces the fact that obama lied.
Strictly PR.
They can’t legislate the laws of economics. ObamaCare has put supply/demand in a meat grinder.
The policies are being cancelled because OC says they have to be because they don’t offer certain coverages. The only way to fix that is to repeal OC.
'The Hill' must be unaware of the Senate Democrats who are lining up to approve this same legislation .....?
Panic: Desperate Democrats Propose Law to Restore Obama's 'Keep Your Plan' Pledge
Hey, no one told us you would lose your health insurance. We read it in the papers like you.
This is not a "show" vote.
Exactly. Completely nonsensical. They should pass a resolution declaring themselves to be 100% ineffectual.
“Several people,”
that’s what I got too.
