                               OBAMACARE

  (Mr. McCLINTOCK asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute.)
  Mr. McCLINTOCK. Mr. Speaker, by the government's own numbers, for 
every American who has found health coverage under ObamaCare since it 
rolled out, some 50 Americans have lost their health insurance on the 
individual market, but that doesn't account for the many millions more 
who are losing employer insurance or are losing wages as a direct 
result of the Democrats' ObamaCare fiasco.
  One such family is the Howard Asbury family in Mariposa, California. 
Mr. Asbury writes:

       I am a retired union carpenter, and I am covered under the 
     union's retiree health plan. When I retired, my wife went to 
     work in the billing department for an ambulance company. 
     Yesterday, she was informed by the owner that he was dropping 
     all health care coverage and cutting all employees below 
     supervisor to part-time. We will be able to enroll her and 
     our two children under my retirement health plan through my 
     union, although this does not address the loss of income. So 
     now we have to pay for her coverage and the children on $440 
     less income.

  Mr. Speaker, my office is being flooded by such complaints. I have to 
believe that our colleagues across the aisle are hearing the same 
things. Why aren't they listening?
