                            REPEAL OBAMACARE

  (Ms. FOXX asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Ms. FOXX. Mr. Speaker, what was ObamaCare's central claim? The 
Affordable Care Act, as it was termed by President Obama, was supposed 
to make health care more affordable for the American people. Many who 
believed that claim, however, now have buyer's remorse.
  ObamaCare was to help save families $2,500 on their health care 
premiums. But that's not true. Family premiums have increased $3,000 
since 2008.
  Even workers who make $25,000 a year will pay more for health care 
because of ObamaCare. Young people struggling to pay off debt and find 
careers in this jobless economy could see their health premiums rise by 
as much as 189 percent.
  In spite of lofty promises, health insurance costs are higher. More 
than 30 studies have found ObamaCare will make health care premiums 
less affordable by the time it's fully implemented.
  Promises for affordable health care have delivered a true train wreck 
to the American people. It's time to repeal ObamaCare and all of its 
broken promises once and for all.
