                        OBAMACARE DESTROYS JOBS

  (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, last Monday, the 
nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office confirmed what we have seen for 
the last 5 years: ObamaCare destroys jobs.
  Over the next 10 years, ObamaCare is expected to significantly reduce 
American work hours, destroying nearly 2 million jobs. The impact will 
also reduce America's workforce by nearly 1 percent.
  The cause is clear. Workers cannot afford the excessive mandates and 
changes in tax rates. ObamaCare not only hurts wallets by increasing 
premiums, but it also hurts workers by destroying jobs. Last month, we 
learned that major insurance companies, like UnitedHealthcare, may not 
remain in the exchanges because of high costs. Obamacare is 
unsustainable.
  We have seen time and time again how ObamaCare has harmed jobs and 
families. Its architect, Jonathan Gruber, admitted that it was built on 
``the stupidity of the American voter.'' We must repeal it and replace 
this broken law with patient-centered solutions.
  In conclusion, God bless our troops, and may the President by his 
actions never forget September the 11th in the global war on terrorism.
