                        RISING HEALTH CARE COSTS

  (Mr. MARCHANT asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. MARCHANT. Mr. Speaker, I continue to hear the real-world impacts 
of the implementation and cost of ObamaCare in my congressional 
district. Just last week, I received an email from CyrusOne, a small 
business located in my district. Due to ObamaCare, they anticipate 
paying over $86,000 more for their current level of health insurance 
for their employees once ObamaCare is implemented.
  For a small business, these significant new costs inhibit their 
ability to hire new workers or to simply keep the workers they have on 
the payroll. Consumers will begin to see the impact of these costs in 
the form of higher prices passed on to them.
  Higher prices and fewer jobs, this is not the health care reform that 
Americans want or deserve. We must repeal or at least delay the 
individual mandate before it does even more damage to our economic 
recovery.
