                               OBAMACARE

  (Mrs. BEATTY asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mrs. BEATTY. Mr. Speaker, many of my Republican colleagues are still 
obsessed with ending health care for the American citizen.
  I come here today to tell you the administration, experts, and my 
colleagues in Congress are working on making sure that all Americans 
have insurance.
  I say to you while they talk about ``glitch, glitch, glitches,'' yes, 
we are all disappointed with that. When they talk about the face of the 
stories, let me tell you that last week during our week at home, I held 
a tele-townhall conference, and many of my constituents called in and 
asked questions about the Affordable Care Act. Do you know why? Because 
they had a college student who can stay on their insurance. Do you know 
why? Because there were women who had preexisting conditions now that 
can be covered. Do you know why? They were seniors. They were mothers. 
They were parents. That is what the Affordable Care Act is about.
  So I say to you to listen closely, America, because the Affordable 
Care Act will make a difference, and that is what we should have in 
this wonderful America that we live in.
