                       DENNIS DENBO AND OBAMACARE

  (Mr. TAKANO asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. TAKANO. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to speak about the benefits of 
ObamaCare.
  Dennis Denbo, a 63-year-old constituent of mine, spoke to our local 
newspaper, the Press-Enterprise, to share his story.
  Mr. Denbo, who was laid off recently from his computer sales job, 
went to the Covered California Web site and found that he and his wife 
Jean will save $300 a month on a plan comparable to what they have now.
  A few weeks ago, Mr. Denbo wrote to my office to tell me personally 
about his experience and how deeply he believes in America's ability to 
achieve great things.
  In his letter he said:

       We are Americans. We can solve whatever issues or tactical 
     challenges that come up in the implementation of a nationwide 
     health care solution. We can make it efficient, cost-
     effective, accessible, and a valuable service for all 
     Americans.

  I couldn't agree more, Mr. Denbo.
  The benefits of ObamaCare are real. This body should be concerned 
with finding ways to improve access to affordable health care instead 
of delaying and defunding.
