              DELAY, DEFUND, REPEAL, AND REPLACE OBAMACARE

  (Mrs. BLACKBURN asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Mrs. BLACKBURN. Mr. Speaker, it's interesting what brings us here to 
the House floor this Saturday morning as we are looking at a continuing 
resolution to fund the government and as we are looking at ways to 
address what is happening with ObamaCare--where 17 percent of our 
Nation's economy is being nationalized and federalized.
  Those are concerns that we are hearing from our constituents. They do 
not want ObamaCare to be put into action, and they do not want these 
insurance exchanges to be stood up and put into action. There are a lot 
of good reasons why.
  First of all, they are not ready. That's why we need to delay this 
for 1 year. Delay it. We know that there are problems with the 
exchanges. We know that there are problems with all of the interactive 
technologies. We know that ObamaCare has already missed over half of 
its deadlines.
  Why would you move forward on a program that is not ready for prime 
time?
  Delay, defund, repeal, replace. That is what we need to do with 
ObamaCare.
