IN SUPPORT OF AUTHORITY FOR MANDATE DELAY ACT AND FAIRNESS FOR AMERICAN 
                              FAMILIES ACT

  (Mr. MARCHANT asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. MARCHANT. Madam Speaker, the House will vote today to delay the 
implementation of both the employer and the individual health insurance 
mandates dictated by ObamaCare. The administration announced by way of 
a blog post that it could not implement the employer mandate by its 
legal deadline despite repeated assurances that everything was okay.
  It is completely unfair for the administration to grant an extension 
to businesses but not to individual tax-paying Americans. House 
Republicans are fighting for all Americans. There is still much work to 
be done. ObamaCare continues to be a drag on our economic recovery, 
leading to fewer choices and more expensive insurance premiums. I urge 
the support of these bills and the complete repeal of the President's 
health care law.
