                    DEVASTATING EFFECTS OF OBAMACARE

  (Mr. McHENRY asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. McHENRY. Madam Speaker, last week, I held a telephone townhall 
meeting with my constituents. Towards the end of that call, I heard 
from a constituent who had already seen her hours cut at the local 
grocery store from 36 hours down to 28.
  As a result of ObamaCare, industries, corporations, and people are 
posed with this very tough challenge: either they pay for very 
expensive health care, cut people's hours, or lay people off. 
Unfortunately, her grocery store decided to limit hours and make more 
part-time workers.
  Sadly, as a result of this, she lost $140 a month. That prevented her 
from being able to pay for the very affordable health insurance plan 
she currently is on. Other coworkers could no longer afford car 
payments, for instance.
  These devastating effects are a terrible result of bad public policy, 
and that is why we must repeal ObamaCare.
