                             ACA ENROLLMENT

  (Ms. FUDGE asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Ms. FUDGE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to celebrate the beginning of a 
new era in American health care. In less than a week, Americans across 
the country will be able to enroll in health insurance marketplaces, 
more commonly known as health exchanges. Americans will no longer be 
subjected to annual limits on their coverage or refused insurance 
because of a preexisting condition. We as a Nation will be that much 
closer to ensuring that every American has access to high quality and 
affordable health care.
  The United States is undoubtedly home to the world's best doctors, 
hospitals, and health care providers; and, starting January 1, more 
than 6 million children, seniors, women, and men will be able to access 
world-class care at less than $100 a month. I certainly believe that's 
something worth celebrating.
