                            REPEAL OBAMACARE

  (Mr. PENCE asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. PENCE. Well, after months of debate and assurances that their 
government takeover of health care would actually result in lowering 
the cost of health care for Americans, the truth landed with a thud 
last Thursday. A new report from the Obama administration's own 
Medicare agency confirms what we have known all along: the President 
and congressional Democrats passed a health care law without any idea 
how to pay for it.
  They promised to lower the cost of health care, but instead ObamaCare 
will send those costs soaring by $311 billion. Again, this is from 
their own analysts within the administration. The same report says some 
of the ways Democrats set out to pay for the bill are unsustainable, 
and some of the methods they used to control costs are, quote, 
``negligible''.
  The reality is that we need to repeal ObamaCare and replace it with 
the kind of health care reform that will lower the cost of health care 
without growing the size of government. And House Republicans are 
determined to be on the side of the American people until we do just 
that.
