                               BROWSE ACT

  (Mr. DUFFY asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. DUFFY. Mr. Speaker, I want to talk about ObamaCare this afternoon 
and the fact that the President came out to the American people and 
said that healthcare.gov was going to work like Amazon and Kayak, Web 
sites where consumers are able to go shop for products, and if they 
find a product that they like, then and only then do they have to put 
in their personal information--their date of birth, their credit card, 
their full name and address.
  Healthcare.gov doesn't work that way. Before Americans can shop for 
products on healthcare.gov, they have to put all of their information--
their address, their date of birth, their Social Security number--into 
a Web site that isn't secure.
  I am introducing the BROWSE Act to make sure that Americans have an 
opportunity to search the Web site, look at products, and only if they 
find a product that they like, only then do they have to put in their 
personal information. Healthcare.gov should work like the rest of the 
Internet and the marketplace.
