                      OBAMACARE IS WRONG SOLUTION

  (Ms. FOXX asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Ms. FOXX. Mr. Speaker, discussions about health care often turn into 
discussions about jobs and the economy. The two are undeniably linked. 
ObamaCare--its unfunded mandates, broken policy incentives, and tax 
penalty structure--is exacerbating the crisis of underemployment in 
this country.
  My constituent Sandy from Winston-Salem knows this firsthand. She 
contacted me to share how ObamaCare is impacting adjunct professors in 
North Carolina community colleges. She said:

       Our hours have been cut because of the ``Unaffordable 
     Health Care Act.'' This legislation is the worst thing that 
     could have happened to the average American.

  Her story isn't unique. Stories abound of community colleges working 
to figure out how they will manage to comply with ObamaCare's costly 
employer mandate. For some, it means cutting part-time employee hours, 
which shortchanges both workers and students.
  Americans care about health care, and they care about jobs. ObamaCare 
is the wrong solution for both.
