                         CONTINUING RESOLUTION

  (Mrs. WALORSKI asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute.)
  Mrs. WALORSKI. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in support of the House plan 
to hold a vote on a continuing resolution to fund the government and 
defund ObamaCare. This straightforward approach achieves two 
objectives: it keeps the lights on for the Federal Government while 
halting an unworkable law.
  The list of problems with ObamaCare gets longer every day. This law 
was passed in 2010. But since just last week, I would like to share 
three examples that negatively impact my district and the State of 
Indiana.
  Yesterday, just 12 days before the full implementation, the White 
House warned Americans of ``massive fraud'' triggered by ObamaCare, 
causing identity theft and cybersecurity leaks. Last week, Indiana 
University reported they're laying off 50 workers and sending them to a 
temp agency because of ObamaCare. This includes graduate students who 
are having their hours cut to stay under the 30-hour threshold. The 
Indy Star reported that over 200,000 Hoosiers are impacted by higher 
insurance rates under ObamaCare.
  The list is getting longer, and the problems are getting worse.
  The House plan is similar to legislation penned by my colleague, Mr. 
Tom Graves, which has already been cosponsored by 79 Members of 
Congress. I'm confident the House will work its will to pass this 
legislation to reflect the wishes of the American people. Next it's 
time for the Senate to step up and do the same.
