“I rise for another in a series of Republican freshman class Special Orders, this time to focus on the need to repeal ObamaCare in a vote in this Chamber later this week. The President and many of our colleagues on the other side of the aisle proudly refer to this health care law as ``ObamaCare,'' but we should neither be proud of the process that led us to this point nor the resulting policy mess. The 2,800-page bill was crafted behind closed doors and rushed through Congress in 2010 with limited debate and without amendments. The predictable result is a flawed product that expands the Federal Government's role in health care, raises taxes on employers, and mandates benefits that will increase health care costs for most. Remarkably, there already have been more than 20,000 pages of regulations issued regarding this bill's implementation. {time} 1930 I would like to start by recognizing my distinguished colleague, the gentlelady from Missouri, for her remarks on this important issue.”
