                               OBAMACARE

  (Mr. KING of Iowa asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. KING of Iowa. Mr. Speaker, I come to the floor, as many of us do, 
to speak about the intrusion into a God-given American freedom called 
ObamaCare.
  As I watched the debate go back and forth and listened to my junior 
Senator declare those of us who don't want to fund ObamaCare to be for 
anarchy, I would say instead it's this: that if ObamaCare is ever 
implemented and enforced, we will never recover from it. It is an 
unconstitutional taking of God-given American liberty.
  What we are saying here in the House is we are not going to fund any 
implementation or enforcement of ObamaCare. If that means that the 
President would shut the government down in his throwing of a political 
tantrum, that's not on us; that's on him.
  We have always recovered from government shutdowns. There were 57 
days of government shutdowns under Jimmy Carter. We don't even remember 
that.
  We will never recover from ObamaCare if it's implemented, and I'm 
going to stand in opposition to funding ObamaCare.
