                               OBAMACARE

  (Mr. HARRIS asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. HARRIS. Mr. Speaker, the bad news on ObamaCare just keeps rolling 
in. As if it's not bad enough that the IRS will be helping run 
ObamaCare, Maryland announced last Friday that health insurance 
premiums will go up 25 percent next year under ObamaCare.
  Whatever happened to the President's promise that premiums would go 
down, not up? Just another empty promise?
  Maryland's middle class families, already struggling to pay their 
health insurance premiums, will see their policies cost over $1,000 
more next year under ObamaCare. Many will just drop their insurance, 
and that will just increase the long lines we already see in our 
crowded emergency rooms.
  Mr. Speaker, ObamaCare is a disaster. We should repeal it before it 
does more damage to our hardworking middle class taxpayers and before 
it destroys even more jobs.
