             CONSTITUENTS ARE HURTING BECAUSE OF OBAMACARE

  (Mr. WILSON of South Carolina asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. WILSON of South Carolina. Mr. Speaker, people across America are 
hurting because ObamaCare is destroying jobs. Thousands of residents 
from North Augusta to Blythewood in South Carolina's Second 
Congressional District have appealed for answers to the difficulties 
they are facing because of the government health care takeover. 
Kathleen Sebelius has failed.
  Over the weekend, I heard from constituents who were applying for a 
second or third job because their current income will not cover the 
increased costs of health care. Others have shared stories of sticker 
shock because they pay three times more for the same coverage.
  Concerns have been vindicated by the projections of job losses by the 
National Federation of Independent Business because of the health care 
takeover.
  We must repeal and replace ObamaCare with a patient-centered plan 
that creates jobs, which has been long proposed by Congressman Dr. Tom 
Price, and puts personal health care decisions back into the people's 
hands.
  In conclusion, God bless our troops, and we will never forget 
September the 11th in the global war on terrorism.
  Congratulations to First Lieutenant Hunter Wilson for completing his 
service this year in Afghanistan.
