REPEAL AND REPLACE OBAMACARE
(Mr. WILSON of South Carolina asked and was given permission to
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
Mr. WILSON of South Carolina. Mr. Speaker, according to a recent
editorial in the Washington Times:
The promise of ObamaCare was that it would make health
insurance both universal and affordable.
It was obvious from the beginning that President Obama's scheme, a
fantasy of politics and palaver, wouldn't work. The folly of the health
care takeover becomes ever more clear with the appearance of the
markers for implementation. Robust economic growth is crucial, and
ObamaCare threatens to make a bad economy much worse. Congress must
listen to the whistle of that speeding train bearing down on us and
step on the brakes and avoid the wreck while there's still time to
come.
The wheeling and dealing of the dishonest ObamaCare campaign has
finally caught up with the President. Delaying the employer mandate
while still requiring individuals to comply with the government health
care takeover bill is wrong and will place a burden on American
families. We must repeal ObamaCare in its entirety and replace it with
a plan to preserve the doctor-patient relationship before this
unworkable law destroys more jobs.
In conclusion, God bless our troops, and we will never forget
September the 11th in the global war on terrorism.
