                               OBAMACARE

  (Mr. FLEMING asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. FLEMING. Mr. Speaker, ObamaCare, on its first day, is emblematic 
of what we can expect from ObamaCare in the future, already proving to 
be a logistical as well as an economic disaster.
  Businesses are cutting back on full-time employees. Some people are 
losing their jobs. Many are losing their hours as well. For businesses 
with less than 50 employees, ObamaCare has become a massive 
disincentive for growth.
  The cost of health insurance premiums are skyrocketing. One report 
says people in Louisiana who don't get Federal subsidies will see 
dramatically higher rates for average coverage. In fact, they will now 
be paying more for health insurance than the cost in most other States.
  The implementation of ObamaCare is proving to be the train wreck that 
even Democrats have come to expect. And that is leaving our economy on 
edge, with job creators wondering how they will make it through more 
taxes, more mandates and regulations.
  ObamaCare is a devastating threat to our economy, and it needs to be 
stopped now.
