                        OBAMACARE IS NOT WORKING

  (Mr. DUFFY asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. DUFFY. Mr. Speaker, as I listen to the conversation this morning 
and the 1 minutes that are given, I don't hear many of my friends 
across the aisle talking about ObamaCare.
  When I am back at home, I am hearing from thousands of people who 
have lost their insurance--people who did the right thing: Americans 
who bought insurance to cover themselves and their families who have 
now lost their insurance; Americans who we asked to do the right thing, 
and they did it.
  In Wisconsin, 95 percent of Wisconsinites were covered. Instead of 
working on the 5 percent that weren't covered, we have now abandoned 
our health care system, and it is broken for those Americans who tried 
to do the right thing.
  In my district, Denise needs a kidney transplant. She has lost her 
insurance. She has lost her doctor. She is going to the exchange 
looking for insurance, and the one option that she has doesn't provide 
coverage for her current doctor. This is life and death for so many 
Americans.
  I hope that my friends across the aisle will start to talk about 
ObamaCare and how we fix it to make it work for the American people, 
because right now it is not working.
