                               OBAMACARE

  (Mr. MARINO asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. MARINO. Madam Speaker, my colleague who just spoke failed to tell 
the American people that we're going home tomorrow after we get our 
morning work done to hug our children, see our spouses, and we're going 
to be back here Monday.
  So with that said, several years ago, before ObamaCare was 
implemented, or right after it was, the media asked the other side of 
the House, What's in it? And the other side of the House responded, 
Well, we don't know. We have to pass it to see what's in it. To see 
what the language says, the people are going to have to read it.
  So now we are reading it. Big business is reading it; they don't like 
it. Unions are reading it; they don't like it. Most Americans don't 
like it.
  So what does that mean? When ObamaCare was passed, it was supposed to 
cost $900 billion and some change and cover 60 million people for 10 
years. The latest numbers today, it may cover 24,000 people at a cost 
of just shy of $2 trillion. Every year, this country is spending $1 
trillion more than we bring in. Who's going to pay for it? Where are we 
going to get the money? Borrow it from the Chinese? Or put it on the 
backs of the hardworking middle class taxpayers? It has to stop.
