In November 2013 , Upton introduced the Keep Your Health Plan Act , which would let health-care insurers continue to sell plans that did not meet the Affordable Care Act ’s “ essential health benefits ” standard . It passed the House with support from 39 Democrats plus all but four Republicans , but did not become law . In an article for USA Today , Upton explained that he had heard from “ countless constituents in Michigan ” who , despite President Obama 's promise that “ If you like your health care plan , you 'll be able to keep your health care plan , ” were “ losing their coverage , ” as were “ millions of Americans who took the president at his word and are now receiving insurance termination notices and alternatives that are often much more expensive . ” On September 27 , 2013 , Upton introduced the Drug Quality and Security Act ( H.R. 3204 ; 113th Congress ) , a bill that would grant the Food and Drug Administration more power to regulate drug compounding in the wake of the New England Compounding Center meningitis outbreak .
