             THE PRESIDENT'S PEP RALLY SPEECH ON OBAMACARE

  (Mr. POE of Texas asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute.)
  Mr. POE of Texas. Madam Speaker, the head cheerleader in charge held 
a pep rally this week. Standing in front of a boisterous pep squad of 
bureaucrats from HHS and Democrats who support ObamaCare, the President 
declared his mission accomplished.
  However, not there and not invited were millions who had lost their 
plans and lost their doctors that the President promised that they 
could keep. Many citizens have seen their health insurance costs rise, 
their deductibles increase, and their coverage decrease, and they 
weren't there either.
  One single mom in my district wrote me that she had to send her son 
off to live with her parents because she could no longer afford to 
support him due to the rise in her health care costs under ObamaCare. 
She wasn't there either.
  But the President declared the debate over repealing ObamaCare is 
over. Not so fast, Mr. President. College pep rally campaigning in 
front of a handpicked audience won't change the fact that ObamaCare is 
bad medicine for America.
  And that's just the way it is.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore (Mrs. Wagner). The Chair would remind Members 
to direct their remarks to the Chair.
