                           OBAMACARE WEB SITE

  (Mr. SAM JOHNSON of Texas asked and was given permission to address 
the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. SAM JOHNSON of Texas. Mr. Speaker, folks back home are 
frustrated, confused and, quite frankly, scared about this disastrous 
health care law.
  Last week, Stephen from Plano sent me an email sharing his firsthand 
experience with the marketplace exchange. In short, operators on the 1-
800 line had no answers to his questions. They simply reiterated he 
should wait until later that evening or the next day to apply since the 
systems were having technical issues.
  Unfortunately, the problems go far beyond an unworkable Web site. 
Even with 3 years of preparation and spending more than 1 billion 
taxpayer dollars, ObamaCare has failed to give the American people what 
they were promised.
  Mr. Speaker, the American people were promised affordable health 
care, not for a select few, but for all. Now more than ever, we must 
work together to delay this law. Americans want, need, and deserve 
better.
