                             OBAMACARE 2.0

  (Mr. LAMBORN asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. LAMBORN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to express disappointment with 
Obamacare 2.0. Apparently President Obama did not get the message 
Americans don't want a big government takeover of health care. This $1 
trillion health care bill is just more of the same: more spending, more 
taxes, and more government mandates. The American people want us to 
start over on health care, wipe the slate clean, and consider 
commonsense reforms that won't bankrupt our country.
  But what Americans want the most of all are jobs. Where are the jobs? 
Government doesn't create jobs, but we can do things to allow the 
private sector to create jobs. We could do these three things: across 
the board tax cuts, increase domestic energy production, and stop the 
overregulation of business. Those three simple things would create 
jobs. If the President really wants to, this is where he should start.
