                            OBAMACARE RULING

  (Mr. SAM JOHNSON of Texas asked and was given permission to address 
the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. SAM JOHNSON of Texas. You know, last month, the Supreme Court 
made its regrettable ruling to uphold the President's job-killing tax 
program known as ObamaCare. While the High Court may have deemed it 
constitutional as a tax, Americans deem it burdensome and unaffordable.
  ObamaCare boasts $500 billion in tax hikes, 150 new Federal 
bureaucracies, and $1.76 trillion added to the growing national debt, 
not to mention the massive amounts of red tape and legalese that get in 
the way of patients and their doctors.
  Before we know it, going to the doctor will feel more like a trip to 
the DMV, the Department of Motor Vehicles. Our Tax-and-Spender-in-Chief 
needs to stop throwing more hard-earned tax dollars at a broken health 
care system and start working with Congress to implement commonsense 
reforms.
  We can make coverage more accessible, more affordable, and give 
Americans the freedom to choose their health care plan. Our first step 
is to repeal ObamaCare this week.
