             REPEALING THE JOB-KILLING HEALTH CARE LAW ACT

                                 ______
                                 

                               speech of

                          HON. GARY G. MILLER

                             of california

                    in the house of representatives

                      Wednesday, January 19, 2011

  Mr. GARY G. MILLER of California. Mr. Speaker, the Democrat health 
care law contains a number of provisions that will cripple our economy 
and stifle job creation. With the unemployment rate above 9 percent, 
the last thing we should do is implement policies that will hinder the 
ability of employers to expand their businesses and create jobs. 
Unfortunately, ObamaCare does just that by punishing employers who do 
not or cannot provide government-approved health insurance to 
employees.
  Businesses of every size are already struggling with the strain of 
rising health care costs. By imposing higher costs on employers, this 
onerous mandate will lead to lower wages and fewer workers. In fact, a 
study by the National Federation of Independent Business estimates the 
employer mandate will destroy 1.6 million jobs with more than half of 
those job losses coming from small businesses--the nation's primary 
source for new jobs.
  To get our economy back on track, it is vital that we repeal 
ObamaCare immediately, and enact commonsense policies that will lower 
health costs for families and small businesses and protect jobs.
