                         SAVE AMERICAN JOBS ACT

  (Mr. SMITH of Missouri asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. SMITH of Missouri. Mr. Speaker, the problems with ObamaCare never 
seem to stop hurting families and individuals in Missouri's Eighth 
District. They are experiencing huge increases in their monthly 
premiums, and bureaucrats are continuing to get between doctors and 
patients.
  Additionally, workers are seeing reduced hours because of the 30-hour 
rule contained in ObamaCare. The Save American Workers Act will repeal 
ObamaCare's 30-hour rule.
  Because of this legislation, small businesses will no longer be 
forced to choose between providing health insurance to part-time 
workers or drastically cutting jobs or even eliminating employees.
  A recent study estimated a 30-hour workweek rule could cost as many 
as 2.6 million Americans jobs.
  Make no mistake, I am still fighting to fully repeal ObamaCare, but 
the Save American Workers Act will not fix every problem with the 
ObamaCare health care mandate, but it will immediately save millions of 
American jobs, and it will help families who are struggling to make 
ends meet.
