               CUIDADODESALUD.GOV OR CAUTIONOFHEALTH.GOV

  (Mr. POE of Texas asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. POE of Texas. Mr. Speaker, a large number of Spanish-speaking 
Americans live in my congressional district. They recently brought to 
my attention the new 2-month-late Obama enrollment Web site: 
cuidadodesalud.gov. Here it is right here on the Web site. But in 
English that translates to: ``cautionofhealth.gov.'' Sounds like a 
warning to me.
  Only the government could be so incompetent to get the title of the 
Web site wrong. This site is riddled with embarrassing computerized 
English-to-Spanish translations. Some things are in Spanish, some 
things are in English, and some things are in Spanglish. This 
incompetence is insulting and confusing to Americans who speak only 
Spanish.
  Ironically, the Web site does tell the truth: people should be 
cautious about government health care. The name of the Web site should 
be officially changed to ``Caution:ObamaCare.''
  It is hard enough to sign up for ObamaCare. If the government decides 
to have a Spanish ObamaCare Web site, you would think the government 
and its vast resources could at least have a Spanish Web site in 
accurate Spanish.
  And that's just the way it is.
