OBAMACARE HAS GOT TO GO
(Mr. GOODLATTE asked and was given permission to address the House
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
Mr. GOODLATTE. Madam Speaker, the people of Virginia's Sixth District
are hardworking, busy running small businesses, teaching, raising
families, earning a living, and trying to make ends meet. It is
Congress' duty to make
[[Page H6228]]
their lives as uncomplicated by government as possible. Time and time
again, however, we have seen ObamaCare doing the very opposite.
Across my district, hourly employees are seeing cutbacks in their
workweeks. Multiple employers are weighing the costs of offering health
coverage to their employees. I have received countless complaints from
folks whose insurance was canceled or whose premiums increased.
It is offensive that the White House dismisses these experiences as
``anecdotal.'' The people in my district do not consider their lives,
their businesses, and their health care to be anecdotal. Delays and
exemptions have proven that this law is flawed and unworkable.
ObamaCare has got to go and be replaced by patient-centered health
care reform.
