OBAMACARE
(Mr. MICA asked and was given permission to address the House for 1
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
Mr. MICA. Mr. Speaker, my colleagues and fellow Members of Congress,
10:15 in the morning. Where is the United States Senate? I was here
until 12:30 yesterday morning.
As I recall, we passed a bill to keep the government open and we
passed a bill that had compromise. Most Republicans voted over 40 times
to repeal ObamaCare, but we agreed to just a 1-year delay in
implementation. The President has already agreed to a delay of a year
for employers. Why not for the American people in a train wreck that's
about to happen to try to get our act together because people do need
health care? Where was the United States Senate yesterday?
I say they were AWOL. They were not here. They don't come in until 2
p.m. today, and then they'll jam a bill through the House and Senate
and try to make it look good.
