                               OBAMACARE

  (Mr. HOLDING asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. Holding. Madam Speaker, my office has continued to be flooded by 
calls from folks in North Carolina who are experiencing the negative 
effects of ObamaCare. Not an hour goes by in which I don't learn of 
another hardworking family who just received notice that, starting next 
year, they will face higher premiums.
  Not only are everyday Americans going to have to pay more for health 
care, but their options for providers are being curtailed at every 
turn. This does not even mention, Madam Speaker, the technical glitches 
that, all too predictably, have emerged in the rollout of the online 
exchanges. They are a harbinger of the trouble ahead with this 
misguided law.
  We are almost $17 trillion in debt; our government has a massive 
spending problem; and ObamaCare will only contribute to our Nation's 
fiscal woes.
  Madam Speaker, now is the time to stop this disastrous law in its 
tracks. Congress has the opportunity to provide all Americans with an 
exemption from ObamaCare--the same exemption the President has provided 
to all of his friends.
