                               OBAMACARE

  (Mr. MARINO asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. MARINO. Mr. Speaker, the President continues to unilaterally 
implement these politically motivated, piece-by-piece, so-called 
``fixes,'' but this law is broken, and it is hurting millions and 
millions of Americans.
  Every day, I hear from more of my constituents who have had their 
coverage canceled and who have seen their premiums increase. I recently 
heard from a woman from my hometown of Williamsport, Pennsylvania, who 
is going to have a baby early next year. She will lose her health care 
coverage on January 1.
  I received a copy of a document from a constituent of mine, Paul from 
Lackawanna County. It is a notice from the insurance company.
  It reads:

       It's important that you know that Federal health care 
     reform will require many changes to health insurance plans 
     beginning in 2014. As a result, as of December 31, 2013, the 
     Special Care health insurance plan you have will no longer be 
     offered.

  We need to repeal the Affordable Care Act and replace it with health 
care reform that actually lowers costs and increases access to quality 
health care.
  The President has an obligation to keep his promise. Going back on 
one's word sets a very poor example for our children, and that is the 
truth.
