                            FAIRNESS FOR ALL

  (Mr. LAMBORN asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. LAMBORN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to speak on the issue of 
fairness for all under ObamaCare.
  Democrats, working with the President, sought and obtained a special 
exemption for Members of Congress and their staffs from ObamaCare's 
onerous costs and mandates. This is outrageous and insulting to the 
American people.
  Last night, the House passed legislation to ensure that Members of 
Congress, their staffs, and other well-connected political insiders 
don't get any special carve-outs from ObamaCare. It's a fundamental 
issue of fairness. But the Senate, last night, voted to exempt 
themselves, their staffs, and other political cronies in the White 
House from living under the mandates imposed on the rest of the 
country.
  Time and time again, this President has given special breaks to 
unions, campaign donors, and Washington insiders. These are breaks he 
is not giving to the American people. This is one of the fundamental 
problems of ObamaCare. It creates another way for the government to 
pick winners and losers.
