                      OBAMACARE'S BROKEN PROMISES

  (Mr. MESSER asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. MESSER. Many of the promises that were made to justify ObamaCare 
have been broken.
  Contrary to what was promised, not everyone will be able to keep 
their current health coverage; and contrary to what was promised, the 
average family premium has risen significantly, not dropped. The 
projected cost to taxpayers has skyrocketed despite assurances it 
wouldn't add a dime to our deficit. Worse yet, the really sick who 
can't find health care because of preexisting conditions are being 
denied promised help.
  Lost coverage, higher premiums, more taxes, and bigger government--
that's the reality of ObamaCare. Now one of the Senate's creators of 
ObamaCare is warning of the impending train wreck coming with the 
implementation of the health care exchanges next year.
  Mr. Speaker, this Congress needs to derail ObamaCare and start making 
promises we can keep.
