                         RELIEF FROM OBAMACARE

  (Ms. ROS-LEHTINEN asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. ROS-LEHTINEN. Madam Speaker, the case for ObamaCare repeal was 
given a big boost by the administration's decision to delay the 
controversial employer mandate for another year. This House will vote 
we hope this week to support that much-needed action, as well as 
postpone the individual mandate for 1 year.
  Delaying the burdensome employer mandate will allow companies to 
continue providing employee health care benefits without reducing work 
hours. Providing a 1-year delay from the individual mandate will 
relieve American families from thousands of dollars of additional 
taxes.
  But postponing the two mandates are only the latest steps to repeal 
ObamaCare. Without complete repeal, Americans will face $1.1 trillion 
in new taxes, $716 billion in Medicare cuts, and huge health insurance 
premium increases.
  Madam Speaker, we must all work together to finish the job by 
completely repealing ObamaCare so that small businesses and individuals 
will be permanently free from this onerous regulation.
