                        OBAMACARE HAS GOT TO GO

  (Mr. GOODLATTE asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. GOODLATTE. Madam Speaker, the people of Virginia's Sixth District 
are hardworking, busy running small businesses, teaching, raising 
families, earning a living, and trying to make ends meet. It is 
Congress' duty to make their lives as uncomplicated by government as 
possible. Time and time again, however, we have seen ObamaCare doing 
the very opposite.
  Across my district, hourly employees are seeing cutbacks in their 
workweeks. Multiple employers are weighing the costs of offering health 
coverage to their employees. I have received countless complaints from 
folks whose insurance was canceled or whose premiums increased.
  It is offensive that the White House dismisses these experiences as 
``anecdotal.'' The people in my district do not consider their lives, 
their businesses, and their health care to be anecdotal. Delays and 
exemptions have proven that this law is flawed and unworkable.
  ObamaCare has got to go and be replaced by patient-centered health 
care reform.
