                             STOP OBAMACARE

  (Mr. STUTZMAN asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. STUTZMAN. Mr. Speaker, hardworking Americans have called on 
Congress to stop ObamaCare. While they expect that Washington elites 
will deride their message and disparage their cause, they are here 
because they understand the consequences of ObamaCare's oppressive 
mandates.
  Back home, over the month of August, I heard from parents who pay 
higher premiums only to have health coverage dropped for their spouse. 
I have talked with Hoosiers who make ends meet with two part-time jobs 
after their hours were cut. I have seen the discouragement of neighbors 
who hope this is finally the week they will find work.
  Americans know that this isn't what a recovery looks like, but they 
wonder if Washington even cares. President Obama told them to trust the 
bureaucrats, the same bureaucrats who gave carve-outs to Big Business 
and kickbacks to Big Government. Republicans told them we had a 
different plan. We promised to stop ObamaCare and put patients ahead of 
politics. As ObamaCare's October 1 deadline approaches, those families 
wonder if we really mean it.
  Mr. Speaker, now is the time to keep that promise. Now, when it 
really matters, we must stop ObamaCare.
