               CBO'S LATEST ECONOMIC REPORT ON OBAMACARE

  (Mr. MICA asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. MICA. Madam Speaker, I come before my colleagues today as someone 
who comes from a family that at times did not have health care. I think 
we can do a much better job, and we should do a much better job, 
helping people get health care.
  Like some predicted on both sides of the aisle, they said that the 
way ObamaCare was crafted it could result in a train wreck. We didn't 
really know, but now we do know. The facts are out. Everyone has seen 
the rollout, which was a disaster.
  Every American should be stunned to see the Congressional Budget 
Office report today. You should read that: 2.5 million people will lose 
their jobs. That doesn't even consider the ones who have already been 
put to part-time status when they are trying to feed their families, 
make a living, and put gas in the car.
  Here we have more people losing jobs because of this. Look at this, 
how many people will see a smaller amount in their paycheck thanks to 
ObamaCare.
  This isn't a partisan document. This is something that is put out 
that has analyzed the impact, and it could be devastating.
