                               OBAMACARE

  (Mr. PITTENGER asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. PITTENGER. Mr. Speaker, much attention has been focused recently 
on the flawed rollout of ObamaCare. Sadly, a potential bigger problem 
has now emerged.
  Once consumers battle their way through the glitchy Web site, much of 
the highly sensitive personal information sent to the insurers is 
wrong. According to The Washington Post and Wall Street Journal, the 
ObamaCare Web site is sending garbled data to insurers, claiming, for 
example, that some enrollees have three spouses or that someone has 
signed up for three separate insurance plans or has enrolled and then 
unenrolled and then reenrolled multiple times in one day. In short, you 
could fight your way through the Web site, fill out all the forms 
correctly, and end up with the wrong insurance, the wrong subsidy, and 
the wrong coverage.
  Now is the time to end this madness. The individual mandate must be 
delayed by a year, and President Obama and Senator Reid must be willing 
to sit down with Republicans and discuss real reforms to what is 
quickly becoming a national disaster.
