                               OBAMACARE

  (Mrs. BACHMANN asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Mrs. BACHMANN. Mr. Speaker, I think it is very clear that the 
President's health care plan is completely unworkable. Not only is it 
unworkable, it is unfair to nearly everyone in the United States--
businessperson and individual alike.
  Hardworking Americans know it because their premiums are skyrocketing 
and, even worse, they are getting notices in the mail that they are 
being told that their health insurance is being pulled altogether.
  Small businesses know it. They are having to respond by not hiring 
the people they want to hire--in some cases, even having to fire--or 
reducing the amount of hours to below 30 hours a week.
  People in the President's own party know it. The gentleman that wrote 
this bill called the bill a nightmare. Even the labor unions that 
support the President know this. They have called this bill a 
nightmare, and they've said it is breaking the back on the American 
Dream, breaking the back on the 40-hour workweek and on health care 
benefits.
  Even the President knows it. He has admitted, despite saying the law 
is working just as it is supposed to, the President just once again had 
to have yet one more delay in ObamaCare--in fact, over 19 times.
  That is why we are asking, Mr. Speaker, for fairness in a workable 
health care law.
