                       OBAMACARE UNDEREMPLOYMENT

  (Ms. FOXX asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Ms. FOXX. Mr. Speaker, ObamaCare is dead weight on a stagnant job 
market.
  Millions of Americans are out of work. Millions more are 
underemployed--crunching numbers around the kitchen tables, trying to 
make ends meet. Yet ObamaCare is undermining growth and is making it 
harder for businesses, large and small, to hire more full-time workers 
or to even maintain part-time worker schedules. It is cited as a 
leading cause for why nearly three out of four people hired this year 
were offered only part-time jobs.
  The stagnant economic report we received earlier this month is a 
continued reminder that ObamaCare is not the job creator or economic 
driver the President promised. It is a burden on employers, and it is 
translating into prolonged underemployment for working American 
families.
  Republicans and Democrats need to work together to repeal, defund, 
delay, and replace ObamaCare for these families. Meaningful reform is 
worth the effort.
