OBAMACARE'S THREAT
(Mr. MULLIN asked and was given permission to address the House for 1
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
Mr. MULLIN. Mr. Speaker, I stand before you today not only as a
Member of Congress, but as a concerned business owner angered by the
fact that ObamaCare may be putting my companies at financial risk.
Currently, those businesses employ over 120 people in the State of
Oklahoma. Because of the size of these companies, when ObamaCare is
fully implemented, it will mean an immediate cost of over $200,000 to
that business.
I ran for Congress because I got fed up with the Federal Government
becoming my biggest threat.
The President says he wants to grow the economy and encourage job
creation, but in reality he is punishing those who are trying to
thrive. As a business owner, you are penalized $100,000 for hiring that
50th employee.
ObamaCare is the number one threat to businesses in Oklahoma and
across this country. This week we'll vote to repeal this law, along
with its harmful new mandates and tax hikes.
For the sake of this country's job creators, we must repeal
ObamaCare. I urge my colleagues to join me and America in putting
America back in business.
