                               OBAMACARE

  (Mr. PEARCE asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)

  Mr. PEARCE. Mr. Speaker, the President promised that if you like your 
plan you can keep it; but he hasn't followed that promise, and he 
followed up with an administering of the plan that is even worse.
  Only 172 people have been able to sign up in the one month's 24-hour 
access to the Web site that is supposed to allow us to sign up. More 
people are served popcorn and soft drinks during the halftime of an 
Artesia football game than have been able to get service through this 
Web site. The losses are extensive:
  In Truth or Consequences, Ron says that he lost his coverage and that 
the replacement is 350 percent to 550 percent higher;
  Jacob in Roswell: his whole road crew lost its plan. It is seeing its 
premiums triple;
  Kathy from Silver City, who is on fixed income-retirement: their 
premiums are quadrupling;
  Jen, on Facebook, who is going from $300 a month to $1,500 a month, 
wonders where she can get the money to pay that.
  Maybe you have an answer, Mr. President.
