                               OBAMACARE

  (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, for more than 3\1/2\ years, 
President Obama repeatedly promised Tom, who is in this picture, that 
if he liked his health care plan, he could keep it. Period. In spite of 
the President's assurances, Tom, along with 3.5 million other 
Americans, has recently received a cancellation letter from his 
insurance provider.
  You see, Tom, who is a constituent from Allen, Texas, has dwarfism, 
which makes access to the doctors he likes, trusts, and knows critical 
to his well-being. Not only has ObamaCare affected his health care, but 
Tom has said it has taken time, energy and focus away from growing his 
small business. That even makes the new Pope mad. As Tom's dad often 
said, If you're not going to be part of the solution, at least don't be 
part of the problem. Thus far, ObamaCare is the problem.
  It is time for President Obama to join our efforts and provide a real 
solution to this flawed and unworkable law.
