                               OBAMACARE

  (Ms. BROWN of Florida asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. BROWN of Florida. Mr. Speaker, you can fool some of the people 
some of the time, but you can't fool all of the people all of the time. 
The House Republicans have passed a bill 44 times to rescind the health 
care bill. ObamaCare is because Obama cares. The shutdown cost the 
American people $24 billion.
  I come from the great State of Florida where the Medicaid extension 
has not, to this time, been accepted. That means that over a million 
people--a million people--will not receive health care.
  Every time I speak to a group of students at the Florida A&M 
University, I ask them how many students can stay on their family plan 
because of ObamaCare? Every single hand goes up.
  So let's be clear: the first rollout was the proposal that let over 3 
million people stay on their family plan. And the doughnut hole, 
because Obama cares, we are closing that that was instituted under the 
Bush administration.
  I really do believe to whom God has given much, much is expected. I 
really do expect more from the people's House than what we have gotten 
from the Republican leadership.
