                     BIPARTISAN HEALTH CARE REFORM

  (Mr. YODER asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. YODER. Madam Speaker, like many of my colleagues, my top priority 
continues to be job creation in our country. That's why I was so 
heartbroken with the recent health care decision by the United States 
Supreme Court. No matter what we think about the impact this law will 
have on the prevalence of health care in our country, it is not good 
for small businesses, and it is devastating for job creation.
  This law creates massive amounts of uncertainty, raises taxes and 
huge administrative burdens, and places significant new mandates on 
entrepreneurs and small businesses. Not a recipe for economic recovery.
  That's why I stand today in support of a repeal of this massive 
burden on our economy. We need health care reform in this country, no 
doubt, and I stand ready to work with Members of both parties on a 
fresh start, a truly bipartisan bill that will actually reduce the cost 
of care, not simply shift the burden.
  So let's work together on commonsense reforms. Let's repeal this act, 
let's give relief to small businesses, and let's get our economy going 
again.
