                              HONOR SYSTEM

  (Ms. FOXX asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Ms. FOXX. Mr. Speaker, because of ObamaCare, health insurance costs 
could be increasing more than 80 percent for young North Carolinians. 
Yes, those who pay just over $100 a month now may have to pay $185 for 
ObamaCare-approved coverage.
  The administration has attempted to console us with promises that the 
blow of such sharp cost increases will be softened for the neediest 
Americans through income-based taxpayer subsidies. However, there's a 
problem: it's not just needy Americans who will have access. Because 
the Obama administration has decided to rely on an ``honor system'' for 
subsidy distribution to draw money, income won't have to be verified, 
and neither will one's access to ``affordable'' employer-provided 
health coverage.
  We are told this honor system will be temporary, but we are not 
satisfied. Develop a verification system now or delay the subsidies. 
Better yet, give every American a break and repeal this law.
