                 HEALTH CARE REPEAL AND IMPACT ON JOBS

  (Mr. BACA asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)

  Mr. BACA. All throughout Congress, the Republicans consistently 
asked, ``Where are the jobs?'' They asked this last year. Yet in their 
first major action, the House Republicans are showing their true 
colors: playing politics at the expense of hardworking Americans.
  Under the Republican plan to repeal health reform, small businesses 
will not be able to receive $40 billion in tax credits that will allow 
them to cover employees; insurance premiums will continue to rise, 
forcing businesses to cut benefits and lay off employees; and they will 
add to the deficit, exploding it to $1 trillion over the next 20 years, 
creating more uncertainty in our economy.
  Instead of serving hardworking American families, Republicans would 
rather have American small businesses serve greedy health insurance 
companies. Republicans are proving yet again that they are indeed the 
party of ``no''--no relief, no health care, no jobs.
  I urge my colleagues to stand with American small businesses and 
workers and resist any attempt to repeal health reform.
