                           HEALTH CARE REFORM

  (Mr. LAMBORN asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. LAMBORN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in support of this historic 
effort to bring back our health care system from the grip of a massive, 
unprecedented government takeover.
  Overwhelmingly, my constituents in Colorado, like the majority of 
Americans, know that ObamaCare increases costs, explodes the deficit, 
raises taxes, hurts job-creators and, most importantly, gives the 
government control over personal health care decisions.
  To force every American to buy a private product like health 
insurance is unconstitutional.
  By using budgetary gimmicks, like counting 10 years of tax hikes 
against 6 years of spending, Democrats rigged ObamaCare to get a 
misleading score from the Congressional Budget Office. Realistic 
accounting shows that this

law is a budget buster. ObamaCare creates so much new bureaucracy and 
spending that it took 2,800 pages to create it while the bill to repeal 
is only two pages.
  Republicans will work to craft better solutions that empower patients 
and families to make their own health care decisions.
