                      REPEAL AND REPLACE OBAMACARE

  (Mr. GINGREY of Georgia asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute.)
  Mr. GINGREY of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, last week, the Centers for 
Medicare & Medicaid released a new analysis of ObamaCare that confirmed 
what Republicans have been saying all along: our Nation's health care 
costs will increase under ObamaCare, and this bill will hurt health 
care for seniors.
  Mr. Speaker, a few simple facts:
  First, under ObamaCare, our national health care expenditures will 
increase by $311 billion in the first 10 years. Second, health care 
will increase to 21 percent of GDP by 2019. Third, the government will 
spend $410 billion to expand Medicaid under ObamaCare. And, fourth, 
more than 7 million seniors will be forced off of their current 
Medicare coverage, including 50 percent of those who are currently on 
Medicare Advantage.
  Speaker Pelosi, this is not the reform you promised; this is not the 
reform the country needs. That is why I will be fighting to repeal and 
replace this legislation with real reforms that lower costs and improve 
coverage and care without bankrupting our country.
