                               OBAMACARE

  (Mr. WILSON of South Carolina asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. WILSON of South Carolina. Mr. Speaker, ObamaCare is a disaster. 
The President knows it; Congress knows it; and most importantly, the 
American people now know it.
  The President claims to be working with Congress to stop the train 
wreck the ACA is waging on American families. Actions speak louder than 
words. It is time for him to engage with House Republicans to find a 
solution.
  We must help Mary in Lexington, South Carolina, whose health care 
policy premium has already increased 275 percent since the beginning of 
this year; and Rebecca from Aiken, who will be forced to pay $600 more 
a month for the same coverage in January; and Alvin, an uninsured 
veteran also living in Aiken, who has tried to purchase insurance on 
the government health care Web site but can't afford it because the 
premium will be higher than his mortgage, utilities, and Internet 
combined.
  This is absurd. For the sake of the middle class, we must replace 
ObamaCare with commonsense solutions that protect families, provide a 
safety net, and promote jobs.
  In conclusion, God bless our troops, and we will never forget 
September the 11th in the global war on terrorism.
