                     COVERED CALIFORNIA ENROLLMENT

  (Ms. LORETTA SANCHEZ of California asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. LORETTA SANCHEZ of California. Madam Speaker, I rise today to 
highlight the success of California with the Affordable Care Act in 
bringing some of the highest enrollment numbers across this Nation. I 
am not surprised to see California leading the way; after all, we are 
the Golden State.
  However, there is so much work still to be done by the 31st of March, 
which is the deadline for enrolling people this year. And I am going to 
work very hard, along with my California colleagues. I have reached out 
to our Covered California executive director, Peter Lee, and asked him 
to make sure that we enroll every single eligible Californian.
  With only 8 weeks left for open enrollment, I am making it my top 
priority that every qualified resident of my 46th Congressional 
District is given the opportunity to enroll, and I strongly encourage 
all of my fellow colleagues to do the same. To make good on the promise 
of quality and affordable health care, it is not enough to educate. We 
must make sure everybody is enrolled.
